Fall 2023 schedule The JHU/STScI Center for Astrophysical Sciences Wine and Cheese Seminars take place in Bloomberg 462 on Mondays at 3:30. Each week, there will be either one speaker, giving an hour-long presentation (50+10), or two speakers, each giving a half hour (25+5) presentation. Hour-long speakers will be invited by the committee, and the […]
We meet every Tuesday at 1pm, Eastern time, in the CafeCon (the conference room next to the STScI cafeteria), and also remotely using BlueJeans. We start with a talk by guest speaker for ~30 minutes, followed by paper discussion. Vote for what papers you want discussed on Benty-Fields. Tentative talk schedule for the fall semester: […]
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. […]
The 2023 Bearden Lecture is presented by Dr. Preeti Kharb, who is a faculty member at the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics at the Tata Institute for Fundamental Research, Pune, India TITLE: Jets in Radio-Quiet AGN and their Influence on the Host Galaxies ABSTRACT: 'Radio-quiet' AGN dominate the AGN population. Their jets, when present, are faint […]
Kungang Li (University of Maryland) presents a joint HEP-Ex -Condensed matter seminar Title: "Superconducting Qubits in Quantum Sensing and its Energy Relaxation Time Fluctuations". Abstract: Superconducting qubits are an ideal platform for quantum processors and sensors, demonstrating utility in high-energy physics applications. Quantum sensing in this field involves the controlled interaction of superconducting qubits with […]
