Princeton University Machine Learning in Physics

Machine learning meets quantum many-body physics
Juan Felipe Carrasquilla Alvarez
4:30pm|Jadwin Hall Room A10

In this talk, I will discuss our work on using models inspired by natural language processing in the realm of many-body physics. Specifically, I will demonstrate their utility in reconstructing quantum states and simulating the real-time dynamics of...

Princeton University Thunch Talk

Unveiling the Multiphase, Clumpy Structure of the Circumgalactic Medium of High-z Galaxies
Zhuhai Li
12:15pm|Peyton Hall, Grand Central

In this talk, I will present our recent progress on constraining the physical properties of the ''cool'' (T ~ 104K) phase of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) via modeling Lya emission and low-ionization-state (LIS) metal absorption lines. We developed...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Neural signal propagation atlas of C. elegans
Andy Leifer
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: Both physics and neuroscience seek to understand how the edges and nodes of a network dictate its function. But until recently, it was not possible to quantitatively explore the relation between the structure and function of a biological...

Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

Globular Clusters
Madeleine McKenzie
11:00am|Zoom and Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Each week, we hold a relatively informal seminar/discussion series with an emphasis on extra-galactic and large-scale structure astrophysics.

During Galread a leader/visitor presents a recent paper to the discussion group. The PDF of the paper is...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Creases and caustics on black hole event horizons
Harvey Reall
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: The existence of an event horizon is the defining property of a black hole. I shall review the properties of event horizons and discuss various examples demonstrating that event horizons are not smooth in dynamical processes such as black...
