Physics Colloquium: “A data-driven approach to quantifying the shear viscosity of nature’s most ideal liquid” with Dr. Steffen A. Bass
Over the last few years the Duke QCD group has developed techniques based on Bayesian statistics that allow for the simultaneous calibration of a large number of model parameters and the precision extraction of QGP properties including their quantified uncertainties. The…

Physics Colloquium: “Optical lattice clocks: From Timekeepers to Spies of the Quantum Realm” with Dr. Ana Maria Rey
Harnessing the behavior of complex systems is at the heart of quantum technologies. Precisely engineered ultracold gases are emerging as a powerful tool for this task. In this talk I will explain how ultracold strontium atoms trapped by light can be used to create optical…

Physics Colloquium: “Quantum computing with neutral ytterbium atoms” with Professor Jeff Thompson, Princeton University
Quantum computing with neutral atoms has progressed rapidly in recent years, combining large system sizes, flexible and dynamic connectivity, and quickly improving gate fidelities. The pioneering work in this field has been implemented using alkali atoms, primarily rubidium and…
