Physics Colloquium: "Quantum geometry beyond single flat bands and Euler exact projected entangled pair ground states" Presented by Dr. Robert Jan-Slager - Cambridge

Location:
Lewis Lab, 316
-
The past few years have seen a revived interest in quantum geometrical characterizations. Although the metric tensor has been connected to many geometrical concepts for single bands, the exploration of these concepts to a multi-band paradigm still promises a new field of interest. I…

Physics Colloquium: "Vacuole membranes of hungry yeast are tiny, living, phase-separating thermostats" Presented by Dr. Sarah Keller - University of Washington

Location:
Lewis Lab 316
-
Liquid-liquid phase separation in living biological membranes is usually described as occurring on sub-micron length scales. A stunning counterexample occurs in S. cerevisiae. When the yeast shift from the log stage of growth to the stationary stage, huge, micron-scale liquid domains…
