Security and Donuts (and 2-Step enrollment)
Nick Salvatore, Chris Lake, and Shaheen Beg
In observance of National CyberSecurity Awareness Month, Nick Salvatore, Chris Lake, and Shaheen Beg will be hosting an Information Security Outreach day next week. If you need help with setting up 2-Step…
Experimental Particle Physics Seminar: "Recent results from T2K"
Alysia Marino, University of Colorado
Condensed Matter Seminar: "Taming Quantum Entanglement"
Matthew Fisher, University of California, Santa Barbara
Non-local quantum entanglement - “spooky action at a distance” - is the key feature that dis- tinguishes quantum from classical systems. The entanglement-entropy provides a measure of en- tanglement and for many-body…
Astronomy seminar: "The Hunt for Exomoons"
David Kipping, Columbia University
Since astronomers first started detecting exoplanets, interest in possible exomoons soon followed. Moons could be habitable worlds in their own right but also influence the habitability of planets they orbit. Besides…
Condensed Matter Seminar: "Topological Origin of Equatorial Waves"
Brad Marston, Brown University
Topology sheds new light on the emergence of unidirectional edge waves in a variety of physical systems, from condensed matter to artificial lattices. Waves observed in geophysical flows are also robust to…
Astronomy seminar: "Reverse Engineering the local Universe"
Edoardo Carlesi, IAP Potsdam
Constrained simulations (CS) provide a powerful alternative approach to the random-phase Initial Conditions (ICs) cosmological simulations. In this method, galaxy peculiar velocity measurements are used to…
Special Soft Matter Seminar: "Physical interactions reduce the power of natural selection in growing yeast colonies"
Andrea Giometto, Harvard University
Microbial populations often assemble in dense populations in which proliferating individuals exert mechanical forces on the nearby cells.
Department Colloquium
Speakers: Robyn Sanderson, Liang Wu, Bo Zhen, University of Pennsylvania
Robyn Sanderson: "What can a billion Milky Way stars tell us about dark matter?"
Liang Wu: "Therahertz studies on symmetry and topology in quantum materials"
Bo Zhen: "Topological photonics on the nano…
