High Energy Theory Seminar: "TBA"
Vladimir Rosenhaus (CUNY)
Experimental Particle Physics Seminar: Accelerating the search for Sub-GeV Dark Matter
Christina Mantilla Suarez (UVA)
Accelerator-based experiments provide a unique opportunity to expand the search for dark sector and rare processes in the MeV to GeV mass range, just below the proton mass. This largely unexplored regime is…
Astrophysics Seminar: Weak Lensing with the Effective Theory of Large-Scale Structure
Stephen Chen (Princeton)
In the past decade, effective theories of large-scale structure (EFT) have become the premier way to constrain fundamental physics using spectroscopic surveys starting from first principles. In this talk I…
Condensed, Soft & Living Matter Seminar: Living Stealthy Hyperuniformity
Alison Sweeney (Yale)
Structural color and transparency are common phenomena in life - these optical properties are found in many species of mammals, birds, insects, and even bacteria. This talk discusses our recent…
Condensed, Soft & Living Matter Seminar: Geometry for Many Body Systems: Geometrical Sum Rules and Lattice Models
Jie Wang (Temple University)
Geometry describes how quantum states change locally in parameter space and governs many important physical phenomena, including many-body phases and their responses. The classic example of zero-temperature…
Condensed, Soft & Living Matter Seminar: Light Probes and Structural Color in Dense Complex Media: Lost Between Single and Multiple Scattering
Frank Scheffold (University of Fribourg, Switzerland)
Visible light can be used to probe dense, complex media such as colloidal suspensions or compact sediments. In liquid samples, the temporal fluctuations contain information about the local viscoelastic…
High Energy Theory Seminar: The Quantum Universe from Quantum Gravity
Yasunori Nomura (Berkeley)
I will discuss issues involved in formulating a quantum theory of the universe, including nonperturbative aspects of quantum gravity. In particular, I will explore how to pose physically meaningful questions in…
