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 […]
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 […]
Please join the Mines Physics Department as they welcome Dr. Donna Strickland, Professor, Department of Physics & Astronomy, University of Waterloo, Nobel Laureate, for a hybrid presentation titled Generating High-Intensity, Ultrashort […]
Society of Women in Physics is a student organization centered on providing a welcoming place for gender minorities in physics. We discuss physics culture, career journeys, and create an open […]
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 […]
