Math-Bio seminar: "Quantitative methods for comparing T cell repertoires"
Philip Johnson, Univesity of Maryland
The vertebrate T cell adaptive immune response has the challenging task of recognizing all possible pathogens while not attacking "self." Evolution's solution to this challenge has been to generate a repertoire of…
High Energy Seminar: "Recent Developments in 3-D Dualities"
Jeff Murugan (University of Cape Town)
This summer has seen a flurry of activity in particle-vortex duality and, more generally, in non-supersymmetric dualities in three spacetime dimensions. Much of this work has been directly related to the properties…
Condensed Matter seminar: "Entanglement dynamics following quantum quenches in Floquet topological insulators and quantum critical systems"
Aditi Mitra, New York University
Recent years have shown that entanglement is a useful way to characterize quantum many body systems, however concrete results only exist in one spatial dimension. In this talk I will present results for the dynamics…
Astro Seminar: "Understanding large-scale structure from the CMB"
Emmanuel Schaan (Princeton)
In this seminar, I will present two ways in which the cosmic microwave background (CMB) sheds light on critical uncertain physics and systematics of the large-scale structure.
Shear calibration with…
Math-Bio seminar: "TBA"
Erol Akcay, University of Pennsylvania
Primakoff Lecture: From (Astro)particle Physics to Applications: The Role of Scientific Institutes for the Development of Society
Rolf Heuer (CERN) Hosted by Joe Kroll
With the start of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, particle physics entered a new era. The LHC project will provide a deeper understanding of the universe and the insights gained could change our view of the…
Condensed Matter seminar: "Quantum control and quantum error correction with superconducting circuits"
Mazyar Mirrahimi, INRIA (French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation)
The development of quantum Josephson circuits has created a strong expectation for reliable processing of quantum information. Active quantum error correction (QEC) is regarded as the next major step towards building…
Math-Bio seminar: "Dimensionality reduction in the analysis of human genetics data"
Petros Drineas, Purdue University
Dimensionality reduction algorithms have been widely used for data analysis in numerous application domains including the study of human genetics. For instance, linear dimensionality reduction techniques (such as…
