Physics Colloquium: "Tiny universes from ensembles of open quantum systems" Presented by Dr. Sarah Shandera - Penn State

Location:

LL 316

March 27, 2025, 4:25 - 5:25pm

Gravity creates space-time boundaries that limit observables without limiting the flow of energy and information. This means that quantum systems in cosmology are often open systems: to describe them we must allow for the effects of interaction with an unobservable environment. In…

Physics Colloquium: "Two-channel Kondo Physics: from intrinsic criticality to unconventional orders" Presented by Dr. Rebecca Flint - Iowa State

Location:

LL 316

April 3, 2025, 4:25 - 5:25pm

The interactions between local moments and itinerant electrons gives rise to a rich array of ``Kondo'' physics, from heavy Fermi liquids to unconventional superconductivity and quantum criticality.  Here, I'll introduce the even richer two-channel Kondo physics, where two…

Physics Colloquium: "Cellular protrusion generation and length scale depend on curvature cues and actin network balances" Presented by Dr. Michael Henderson - Bowdoin College

Location:

LL 316

April 24, 2025, 4:25 - 5:25pm

Some of the most noticeable changes in the shape of a cell membrane are the formation of finger-like protrusions such as short filopodia (typically <5 μm long) that assist in environmental sensing and cell migration or tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) that connect cells up to 100 μm away…
