Physics colloquium-“Exponential Quantum Advantage in Approximate Optimization of Hard Constraint Satisfaction Problems”
Physics colloquium-“Exponential Quantum Advantage in Approximate Optimization of Hard Constraint Satisfaction Problems”
Eliot Kapit Colorado School of Mines, Department of Physics Abstract: A huge range of important problems in computer science--including task optimization, formal logic, encryption, and machine learning--can be solved by finding the sequence of binary variables that optimizes a cost function defined by a series of few-variable constraint relationships. Many of these problems are in […]

Van Tuyl Lecture: Greg Tucker, University of Colorado
Van Tuyl Lecture: Greg Tucker, University of Colorado
Van Tuyl Lecture, February 12, 2024, Berthoud 204, 12-1pm Greg Tucker, University of Colorado Community Resources for Modeling Earth's Dynamic Surface Abstract: Computer simulations of earth's geomorphic and sedimentary processes provide valuable insight into how landscapes, seascapes, and depositional basins evolve. Simulation models embody quantitative concepts about how geologic systems work, and as "living hypotheses" […]

Physics colloquium-“Generating High-Intensity, Ultrashort Optical Pulses”
Physics colloquium-“Generating High-Intensity, Ultrashort Optical Pulses”
Donna Strickland, Nobel Laureate University of Waterloo, Department of Physics & Astronomy Abstract: With the invention of lasers, the intensity of a light wave was increased by orders of magnitude over what had been achieved with a light bulb or sunlight. This much higher intensity led to new phenomena being observed, such as violet light […]

Physics colloquium-“The Physics of the Power Grid: What is the Role of Inertia and its Alternatives in the Clean Energy Grid of the Future?”
Physics colloquium-“The Physics of the Power Grid: What is the Role of Inertia and its Alternatives in the Clean Energy Grid of the Future?”
Paul Denholm NREL Abstract: The existing power grid relies heavily on physical inertia provided by thermal and hydropower generators to maintain a nearly constant frequency. But the inverters used by wind and solar do not inherently provide physical inertia, and there is concern that replacing conventional generators with renewable resources could compromise grid stability. In […]
