Physics colloquium-“Generating High-Intensity, Ultrashort Optical Pulses”

Green Center 924 16th Street, Golden, CO, United States

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?”

Center for Technology and Learning Media (CTLM) 1650 Arapahoe St., Golden, CO, United States

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 […]

Physics colloquium-“Optical Neural Networks: Neuromorphic Computing and Sensing in the Optical Domain”

Center for Technology and Learning Media (CTLM) 1650 Arapahoe St., Golden, CO, United States

Tianyu Wang Boston University Abstract: I will overview our work on analog neural networks based on photonics and other controllable physical systems. In particular, I will discuss why neural networks may serve as an ideal computational model that will enable us to harness the computational power of analog stochastic physical systems in a robust and […]

Physics colloquium-“Ergodicity Breaking in Quantum Dynamics”

Center for Technology and Learning Media (CTLM) 1650 Arapahoe St., Golden, CO, United States

Rahul Nandkishore University of Colorado @ Boulder Abstract: When can isolated many body quantum systems fail to go to equilibrium under their own dynamics, and how robust can this `ergodicity breaking’ be? This question has been a central theme of research in quantum dynamics over the past decade, and I will share with you some […]

Physics colloquium-“Hunting for Ghosts using Rare-Isotope Doped Superconducting and Optomechanical Sensors”

Center for Technology and Learning Media (CTLM) 1650 Arapahoe St., Golden, CO, United States

Kyle Leach Colorado School of Mines, Department of Physics Abstract: Nuclear beta and electron capture (EC) decay serve as sensitive probes of the structure and symmetries at the microscopic scale of our Universe. As such, precision measurements of the final-state products in these processes can be used as powerful laboratories to search for new physics […]
