After reviewing some key hints and puzzles from the early
universe, I will introduce recent joint work with Neil Turok
suggesting a rigid and predictive new approach to addressing them.
Our universe seems to be dominated by radiation at early times, and
positive vacuum energy at late times. Taking the symmetry and
analyticity properties of such a spacetime seriously leads to a...
Van Roosbroeck’s equations constitute a versatile tool to determine the dynamics of electrons under time- and space-dependent perturbations. Extensively utilized in ordinary semiconductors, their potential to model devices made from topological materials remains untapped. In this talk, we will adapt van Roosbroeck’s equations to theoretically study the bulk response of a Weyl semimetal to an...
A quantum computer attains computational advantage when outperforming the best classical computers running the best-known algorithms on well-defined tasks. We report quantum computational advantage using Borealis, a photonic processor offering dynamic programmability on all gates implemented. We carry out Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) on 216 squeezed modes entangled with three-dimensional...
Tissue material properties can change drastically during embryonic development, reminiscent of rigidity transitions in physics. However, measuring the transitions or learning how to control the transitions is challenging experimentally. Theoretical and computational models provide new powerful tools to offer hypotheses on how to control the transitions. In this talk, I will introduce...
