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...
Observations of fluctuations in the CMB provide information
about primordial inhomogeneities in the universe. However, the
B-mode polarization of the inflationary gravitational wave is
contaminated by the Galactic dust and synchrotron foreground...
Most space and astrophysical plasmas are considered to be in
turbulent state, often characterized by stochastic fluctuations.
Many laboratory experiments and numerical simulations have revealed
chaotic behavior in turbulent plasmas, but in-situ...
