Speaker: Nicholas Kern Title: Mapping Cosmic Dawn with HERA: Improved Constraints on the 21cm Power Spectrum and IGM Heating Date and time: Tuesday December 5, 3 - 4 pm EST
Topology and phase transitions in twisted nodal superconductors “Twistronics” paradigm has been tremendously successful in realizing strongly correlated and topological phases of electrons in two-dimensional semiconductors or semimetals. In my talk, I will show that twisted bilayers of nodal superconductors allow a similar degree of control over the neutral quasiparticles in superconductors. […]
