Turbulence is common in astrophysical environments and is often
invoked to explain the origin of non-thermal particles in various
sources. However, the mechanisms responsible for accelerating
particles to high non-thermal energies remain poorly...
The existence of dark matter is strongly supported by an
abundance of astrophysical and cosmological evidence, but has yet
to be directly detected. Liquid Xe detectors have been a game
changer in the field of dark matter detection, bringing
about...
The current standard of cold dark-matter (CDM) fails on small
scales. Supernova-driven feedback from star-formation is thought to
solve the small-scale problem often referred to as the core/cusp
problem. It is now possible to observe (thanks to...
What we cannot create, we do not understand." Can we understand
enough about climate and ecosystems to build them on other planets
(and exoplanets)? A necessary, but insufficient, first step for
making Mars's surface suitable for life would be to...
Abstract: In this talk, I hope to describe
elements of proving a certain stable singularity formation result
for the Einstein--Euler system which is the topic of work in
progress with Jonathan Luk. I will first describe some of the
motivating...
Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss recent
advances in realizing programmable quantum systems using
neutral atom arrays excited into Rydberg states. These systems
allow control over several hundred qubits in two dimensions and the
exploration of...
