High Energy seminar: "Mass shift in lattice Hamiltonian approach to Schwinger model"
Silviu Pufu (Princeton University)
The Schwinger model, or quantum electrodynamics in 1+1 dimensions, is one of the simplest gauge theories. In this talk, I will first review a standard lattice discretization of this theory using the Kogut…
Thesis Defense: "From Master Equation to Free Energy Functionals with Applications to Diffusion"
Andrew Li (University of Pennsylvania)
Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "Using Deep Learning as a Last Resort?!"
Shirley Ho (Flatiron Institute)
For the last 10 years, we have seen a rapid adoption of deep learning techniques across many disciplines, ranging from self-driving vehicles, credit card rating to biomedicine. Along with this wave, we…
Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "How behavioral and evolutionary constraints sculpt early visual processing"
Stephanie Palmer (University of Chicago)
Biological systems must selectively encode partial information about the environment, as dictated by the capacity constraints at work in all living organisms. For example, we cannot see every feature of…
Astrophysics seminar: "TBA"
Helena Domínguez Sánchez (Institute of Space Sciences)
High Energy seminar: "Entanglement entropy in (1+1)-d with defects"
Fei Yan
In this talk I will explore perspectives of quantum entanglement in (1+1)-d systems in presence of defects. The talk consists of two parts. In the first part, I will talk about the…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Ultrafast manipulation of electronic interactions in quantum materials"
Matteo Mitrano (Harvard University)
Intense ultrashort electromagnetic fields are an increasingly important tool to realize and control novel emergent phases in quantum materials. Among a variety of nonthermal excitation pathways, a…
Astrophysics seminar: "TBA"
Grace Telford (Rutgers University)
High Energy seminar: "Light states and the interior of moduli space"
Damian van de Heisteeg (Utrecht University)
In string theory one finds that states become massless as one approaches boundaries in moduli spaces. In this talk we look in the opposite direction, that is, we search for points where the…
