Title: Quantum near extremal black holes and anomalies Abstract: The Bekenstein–Hawking formula gives a coarse-grained count of the number of microstates of a black hole, and it is remarkable that it may sometimes be reproduced from a microscopic count in string theory. However, the standard approach (which we will briefly review) typically relies on supersymmetry by counting […]
Condensed Matter & Biological Physics Seminar: Salem Al Mosleh (University of Maryland Eastern Shore) Host: Brian Camley
* Lunch at noon TITLE: Testing Gravity at ever shorter scale: a trip into exotic experimental physics ABSTRACT: Since the times of Henry Cavendish and John Mitchell, the strength of gravity has been measured by comparing it to the reaction of a calibrated mechanical spring. While in the last 60 years planetary measurements (with natural and […]

TITLE: Memory and Plasticity in Amorphous Solids ABSTRACT: While we are all familiar with retaining information in a computer or our minds, memory is an essential quality of many more non-equilibrium systems around us. We consider what information is stored in the arrangement of the particles in a 2D solid adsorbed at an oil-water interface. […]
