Gravitational-Wave Asteroseismology: Illuminating Dense Nuclear Matter through Dynamical Tides Neutron stars present the tantalising opportunity to examine physics in a range of extreme regimes, including ultra-dense nuclear matter. Gravitational radiation from inspiralling compact binaries carries information about the deformability of the stellar material. However, the focus has primarily been on the static tide. Much like […] |

Title: The Cross-Disciplinary Hunt for Dark Matter: ML and Material Science Meet Astroparticle Physics Abstract: The age of WIMP-like dark matter direct detection is drawing to a close due to their non-detection at exquisitely sensitive liquid-noble detectors. However, models where the dark matter is lighter than the mass of a proton remain largely inaccessible to […]

All department members are welcome for the department-wide colloquia series. Title:The Return of Anyons: From twisted layers to quantum platforms Abstract: What if matter were built of particles that follow different rules than the ones we've known for a century? While conventional particles are either bosons or fermions, theory has predicted the existence of "anyons"—particles […] |

Title: Efficient Finetuning of Large Language Models via Large-WidthAnalysis Abstract: Finetuning Large Language Models (LLMs) enhances their performance on downstream tasks — a desirable outcome if the model is used for a specific task.Parameter-efficient finetuning methods such as LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) are popular because they allow finetuning large models with relatively low cost. When using […]

All department members are welcome for the department-wide colloquia series. Title: Quantum Field Theory, Separation of Scales, and Beyond Abstract: We will review the role of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) in modern physics. We will highlight how QFT uses a reductionist perspective as a powerful quantitative tool relating phenomena at different length and energy scales. […] |

Title: Learning normalized probability models with dual score matching Abstract: Learning probability models from data is at the heart of many learning tasks. We introduce a new framework for learning normalized energy (log probability) models inspired from diffusion generative models. The energy model is fitted to data by two "score matching" objectives: the first constrains […] |

Title: Floquet and cavity electrodynamics of integrated quantum materials Abstract: Quantum materials exhibit emergent phenomena driven by interactions, topology, and dimensionality. My group develops techniques for integrating microstructured quantum materials and heterostructures into on-chip optoelectronic devices, enabling both the manipulation and direct probing of their low-energy electrodynamics on femtosecond timescales and terahertz (THz) frequencies. In […]

Title: Quantum-Limited Macroscopic NMR Abstract: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is one of the pioneering quantum information/measurement techniques. It has found applications ranging from medical imaging to precision tests of the fundamental physics of our universe. In this talk, I introduce the standard quantum limit for NMR detection sensitivity that comes from intrinsic quantum fluctuations known as […]

Title: What Does Adam Really Need? Understanding Second Moment Compressibility Through Training Dynamics Abstract: Adam is the go-to optimizer for training modern machine learning models, but it requires additional memory to maintain the moving averages of the gradients and their squares. Despite its success, a fundamental question remains unanswered: When can Adam's second moments be […] |

Title: Direct Neutrino Mass Measurements(Project 8) High Energy Physics-experimental/Atomic Molecular Optical physics seminar
-
This seminar series probes some of the central questions in the physics of learning:Â What properties of data make it learnable? How is learned information encoded in neural representations? Do neural networks exhibit universal properties? Can we construct a thermodynamic theory of learning? What determines how performance scales with model size and computational resources?Â
