DESCRIPTION:Protons and neutrons make up the visible mass around us. But h
 ow do properties like their spin and mass emerge from the dynamics of the
  strong force? This question is one of the last frontiers of the standard
  model of particle physics. In my seminar I will discuss our work of mapp
 ing out the quark-gluon dynamics in the proton using the large angle spec
 trometer CLAS12 at Jefferson Lab.  The recently upgraded electron acceler
 ator at Jefferson Lab enables us to access the 3D structure of the proton
  with unprecedented precision.\n\nI will also discuss our contributions t
 o the physics case and R&D of the future Electron-Ion Collider. This mach
 ine will start collecting data in the coming decade and will allow for th
 e investigation of the structure of polarized protons and light ions as w
 ell as unpolarized heavier ions at unprecedented resolutions. This will e
 nable us to investigate properties of sea quarks\, which temporarily fluc
 tuate out of the vacuum\, and explore the saturation effects in the nucle
 on where the density of gluons is so high that they are thought to create
  a unique phase of matter\, thus ushering in an exciting new era of nucle
 ar physics.

DESCRIPTION:Ever since it was first hypothesized more than 90 years ago\, 
 the strange and ghostly particle called the neutrino has mystified and in
 spired particle and nuclear physicists. After decades of experimental and
  theoretical work\, we have now firmly established that neutrinos have ma
 ss\, and yet their absolute mass scale remains unknown. Now\, after many 
 years of painstaking design\, construction\, and commissioning work\, the
  Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment (KATRIN) has recently improved the
  world's best direct neutrino-mass sensitivity by more than a factor of f
 our\, establishing at 90% confidence that the neutrino mass scale is less
  than 0.45 eV/c^2. I will give a tour of KATRIN's 70-m beamline\, describ
 e our spectral fits and systematic uncertainties\, and show a glimpse of 
 KATRIN's future.

DESCRIPTION:Society for Women in Science: Women in the History of Quantum 
 Physics\n\nPhysics building Room 130\n\nOctober 16\, 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm\n\
 nSpeaker(s): Daniela Monaldi\n\nThe book Women in the History of Quantum 
 Physics: Beyond Knabenphysik is the result of an international\, interdis
 ciplinary project initiated as part of the broader effort to celebrate th
 e centennial of quantum mechanics. It presents original analyses of the l
 ives and work of sixteen women who\, throughout the twentieth century\, f
 rom various locations and in diverse ways\, participated in the developme
 nt of quantum physics. By focusing on lesser-known figures and introducin
 g a gender perspective to historical studies of physics\, we aim to chall
 enge the conventional all-male narratives that often reinforce the mascul
 ine image of the field. From these richly detailed microhistories\, sever
 al themes emerge\, offering insights into the historically persistent gen
 dered dynamics of physics research.

DESCRIPTION:Despite its wide-ranging success\, the Standard Model fails to
  explain multiple critical aspects of reality including the overwhelming 
 dominance of matter over antimatter in the universe. The discovery of add
 itional sources of CP-violation are thought to be needed to explain this 
 matter-antimatter asymmetry\nwhich has remained an open question in nucle
 ar science for decades.\n\nMolecules containing heavy\, deformed radioact
 ive nuclei are premier candidates for next-generation experiments aiming 
 to study the fundamental symmetries of nature in unprecedented detail [Ar
 r24]. In these molecules\, large increases in sensitivity resulting from 
 the rare octupole deformation of certain\nradioactive nuclei can be combi
 ned with molecular structure enhancement factors to provide an unparallel
 ed sensing capability to symmetry-violating nuclear properties.\n\nAdvanc
 es in experimental techniques have recently enabled the first laser spect
 roscopy study of molecules containing radioactive nuclei [Gar20\, Udr21]\
 , despite their more complicated structures compounding their small produ
 ction rates. This Colloquium will present recent results from subsequent 
 experiments studying radium monofluoride at ISOLDE-CERN [Udr24]. A highli
 ght of which includes the first observation of the distribution of nuclea
 r magnetization in the structure of a molecule [Wil25].\n\n[Arr24] Arrows

DESCRIPTION:The discovery that neutrinos have nonzero\, but inexplicably s
 mall\, masses hints that these particles may hold a key to physics beyond
  the Standard Model. In this talk\, I will discuss the search for neutrin
 oless double beta decay (0νββ)\, a proposed form of radioactive decay whi
 ch is only possible if neutrinos and antineutrinos are their own antipart
 icles. A discovery of 0νββ would immediately demonstrate new physics\, sp
 ecifically establishing a) violation of lepton number conservation\, b) t
 he generation of mass by a mechanism other than the Higgs\, and c) possib
 le connections between neutrino interactions and the dominance of matter 
 over antimatter in the universe. I will describe a proposed next-generati
 on experiment called nEXO\, which will search for 0νββ using a liquid xen
 on time projection chamber (TPC). nEXO is designed to achieve sensitiviti
 es more than an order of magnitude beyond the reach of current experiment
 s\, which requires the ability to detect just one 0νββ decay event per ye
 ar in a volume of ~10^28 atoms. We will discuss how the TPC technology wi

DESCRIPTION:When the next galactic supernova occurs\, an immense wave of n
 eutrinos will pass through the Earth. These neutrinos not only provide in
 formation on the final moments of a dying star\, but can also reveal prop
 erties of the neutrino\, and even provide advance notice of the explosion
  to astronomers. Supernovae emit neutrinos of all flavors\, but the major
 ity of existing detectors are primarily sensitive to only one component o
 f the supernova neutrino flux. Neutrino-nucleus scattering offers a way t
 o detect the other components\, providing a more complete picture of thes
 e rare events. However\, our understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactio
 ns is limited. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National 
 Laboratory creates an intense flux of neutrinos with energies similar to 
 those of supernova neutrinos. The COHERENT collaboration uses this "Super
 nova Neutrino Simulator" to measure neutrino-nucleus scattering\, improvi
 ng our understanding of these interactions and enhancing our ability to d
 ecode future stellar explosions.

DESCRIPTION:Nuclear physics is fundamentally understood through the strong
  interaction using Quantum Chromo Dynamics\, for which the Nobel Prize wa
 s awarded in 2004. Yet\, the translation of this theory from quarks and g
 luons to describe massive nuclei made up of many neutrons and protons\, r
 equires a different approach and has not been fully successful. To guide 
 such a theoretical framework\, benchmarking against extreme cases\, with 
 high precision and accuracy\, is needed. I will describe an experimental 
 program for precision mass measurements of short-lived radioactive isotop
 es\, which provides excellent tools to test and inform theoretical predic
 tions. The measurements are carried out using ion traps to store individu
 al charged atoms connected to the radioactive beam facility ISAC at the T
 RIUMF laboratory in Vancouver\, Canada.

DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing has the potential to help us overcome the ba
 rriers that are presented by the end of Moore's law. In the natural scien
 ces\, these barriers appear as limitations in computer memory and/or proc
 essing speed which prevent scientists from describing the problem fully a
 nd forcing them to work on smaller models or with approximate methods. Si
 nce nature is fundamentally quantum\, it is quite natural to view a quant
 um computer as a bespoke quantum simulator\, where we can examine the ope
 n problems in science at a scale not possible with classical computers. I
 n this talk\, I will present how this is achieved\,and discuss some of ou
 r recent work in this area. I will outline how bringing the perspective o
 f a condensed matter physicist into the realm of quantum information can 
 help make quantum algorithms for simulation of many-body physics better\,
  and even usable on today's quantum computers.

DESCRIPTION:Biological systems are a natural place to find far-from-equili
 brium dynamics where ATP-mediated forces are at play.  I will discuss one
  such system\, the dynamics of yeast chromatin that displays equilibrium-
 like self-organized clusters despite the presence of crosslinking condens
 in proteins pushing the system out of equilibrium.  Mathematically\, diff
 erent limits concerning the two sources of noise (randomly switching prot
 ein binding forces and thermal noise) produce different predictions for t
 he behavior of the system.  The one that accurately describes the results
  of numerical simulations suggests that the biological system may be taki
 ng advantage of the switching noise to produce metastable clusters.

DESCRIPTION:The discovery and classification of phases of matter is a long
 -sought goal in quantum many-body physics\, with implications ranging fro
 m fundamental advances to next-generation technologies. While this challe
 nge has been traditionally addressed for closed systems in or near equili
 brium\, many current experimental platforms fall outside this paradigm. I
 n this talk\, I will focus on many-body systems of non-interacting bosons
 \, whose dynamics are governed by non‑Hermitian generators. These arise n
 aturally if the system is open\, described by a quadratic Lindblad master
  equation\; even in the limiting case of Hamiltonian dynamics\, however\,
  effective non-Hermiticity may still arise as a sole consequence of boson
 ic quantum statistics. In spite of their apparent simplicity\, these syst
 ems engender a remarkably rich physics. For example\, I will outline how 
 quantum-critical behavior may arise in a bosonic Hamiltonian due to the c
 losing of a distinctively non-Hermitian Krein gap\, even when a many-body
  ground state does not exist. Likewise\, I will discuss how standard fini
 te-size scaling ideas may fail\, due to extreme sensitivity to boundary c
 onditions and the emergence of dynamical metastability - whereby the stab
 ility properties of the system in the thermodynamic limit sharply differ 
 from those of any finite-size truncation. Finally\, I will hint at how to
 pologically mandated edge-localized Majorana-boson modes may emerge in a 
 transient regime of driven-dissipative bosonic dynamics\, providing tight
  analogues to the zero modes characteristic of topological quantum matter
 . I will emphasize throughout how tools from continuous-variable quantum 
 information - notably\, the scaling of entanglement entropy - can help ga
 ining insight into these diverse phenomena.

DESCRIPTION:The US political system is built on representatives chosen by 
 geographically localized regions.  This presents the government with the 
 problem of designing these districts. Every ten years\, the US census cou
 nts the population\, and new political districts must be drawn. The pract
 ice of harnessing this administrative process for partisan political gain
  is often referred to as gerrymandering. How does one identify and unders
 tand gerrymandering? Can we really recognize gerrymandering when we see i
 t? If one party wins over 50% of the vote\, is it fair that it wins less 
 than 50% of the seats? What do we mean by fair? Should we expect proporti
 onal representation? How can math help illuminate these questions? How do
 es the geopolitical geometry of the state (where which groups live and th
 e shape of the state) inform these answers? Our ability to answer these q
 uestions is still a work in progress and presents many interesting mathem
 atical research questions. Topics include ideas from computation\, statis
 tic/statistical physics\, combinatorics\, high-dimensional probability\, 
 Markov Chain theory\, and modern data science. The story thus far has bee
 n an interaction between lawyers\, mathematicians\, computational scienti
 sts\, and policy advocates.  The legal discussion has been increasingly i
 nformed by the mathematical framework.  And the mathematics has been push
 ed to be better included in the policy considerations. This back and fort
 h has been important to finding ways to effectively inform the policymake
 rs and courts. The problem of understanding gerrymandering has also promp
 ted the development of a number of new computational algorithms that come
  with new mathematical questions.\nThere are strong connections to statis
 tical mechanics\, computational statistics\, and ideas from Markov Chain 
 Monte Carlo such as Parallel Tempering and the Swendsen-Wang/Wolff algori
 thm. The next round of redistricting analysis will necessarily need to be
  more refined and nuanced.  There is also the opportunity to be less reac
 tive. There are opportunities to try to influence the process by which ne
 w maps are drawn before turning to the courts. There is also the possibil
 ity to direct the conversation by showing the effect more fully\, conside
 ring factors such as communities of interest\, incumbency\, or proposed p
 rocedural elements of laws. For me\, these questions began with an underg
 raduate research program project in 2013 and have led me to testify in a 
 number of cases that went to supreme court.
