Quantum Computing Using Electron Spins in Silicon Mark Eriksson, University of Wisconsin-MadisonEvent Type: Physics Dept Colloquium Date: Thursday, April 6, 2023 Time: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar Abstract: Quantum computing is based on the manipulation of quantum bits – qubits – that are two-level systems meeting a set of stringent requirements known as the DiVincenzo criteria. As much as possible, qubits must be isolated from their environment in order to preserve quantum coherence. Remarkably, the techniques used to make classical silicon CMOS devices can be used to make qubits with excellent performance. The operation of these devices, on the other hand – from the required temperatures to the number of electrons comprising a typical qubit – is very different from what is found in even the most advanced classical integrated circuits. In this talk I will present both a short historical overview of how quantum computing in silicon has developed, as well as the latest results from both our group at Wisconsin and from around the world. I will emphasize the role of integration, including 3D integration, which enables readout of qubits formed in Si/SiGe heterostructures by measuring the microwave transmission of a superconducting resonator that is hosted on a separate substrate. That resonator chip is flip-chip bonded to the qubit chip, creating a stacked set of integrated semiconductor and superconductor circuits. I will close this talk by discussing very recent results demonstrating the remarkable properties of silicon quantum wells containing short wavelength oscillations in the concentration of added germanium atoms. Advances like these have, in just the last few years, demonstrated that a future quantum computing technology in silicon will likely integrate sophisticated techniques and knowledge cutting across many disciplines, not only from physics and computer science, but also from electrical engineering and materials science – a feature that makes it an incredibly dynamic (and fun!) field of science and technology.

Capillary Attraction Underlies Bacterial Collective Dynamics Ned Wingreen, Princeton UniversityEvent Type: Physics Dept Colloquium Date: Thursday, April 13, 2023 Time: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar Abstract: “Water is the driving force of all nature.” — Leonardo da Vinci
Collective motion of active matter occurs in many living systems, such as bacterial communities, epithelial cell populations, bird flocks, and fish schools. A remarkable example can be found in the soil-dwelling bacterium Myxococcus xanthus. Key to the life cycle of M. xanthus cells is the formation of collective groups: they feed on prey in swarms and aggregate upon starvation. However, the physical mechanisms that keep M. xanthus cells together remains unclear. I’ll present a computational model to explore the role that capillary forces play in bacterial collective dynamics. The modeling results, combined with experiments, show that water menisci forming around bacteria mediate strong capillary attraction between cells. The model accounts for a variety of previously observed phases of collective dynamics as the result of a competition between cell-cell capillary attraction and cell motility. Finally, I’ll discuss the large-scale self-organization of bacterial populations and highlight the importance of capillary force in this process. Together, these results suggest that cell-cell capillary attraction provides a generic mechanism underpinning bacterial collective dynamics.

Revelations from studies of low mass galaxies: dark matter and galaxy formation on small scales Shany Danieli, Princeton UniversityEvent Type: Astro Seminar Date: Monday, May 1, 2023 Time: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar Abstract: The number densities, structures, and internal dynamics of low-mass galaxies provide some of the most interesting clues to the nature of dark matter and the theory of galaxy formation on small scales. Up until recently, our understanding of low-mass galaxies has largely been informed by observations of dwarf galaxies that orbit our Milky Way galaxy. I will present novel observational efforts that now enable the discovery of such low surface brightness galaxies beyond our local galactic neighborhood. I will discuss some of the follow-up observations of these extragalactic low-mass galaxies, focusing on their dark matter content and intriguing globular cluster populations, revealing significant diversity and new astrophysical puzzles. I will conclude by discussing ongoing surveys that will be essential in mapping the census and properties of the general population of low-mass galaxies.

Supermassive black holes: where do they come from and how do they grow? Chris Nagele, HaverfordEvent Type: Informal Astro Talk Date: Friday, June 9, 2023 Time: 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar Abstract: Supermassive black holes are thought to be one of the fundamental ingredients in galaxy evolution, yet due to the difficulty of direct observation, basic questions such as the origin and growth of these black holes remain unanswered. A promising explanation for the origin of supermassive black holes is the direct collapse hypothesis, where massive gas clouds in the early universe contract to form supermassive stars which then collapse to black holes and become the seeds for observed supermassive black holes. This scenario is difficult to probe observationally because of the extreme distances involved, but one possibility is the general relativistic supernova of a supermassive star, an event which is luminous enough to be observed at high redshift. I will present numerical models of the evolution, instability and explosion of supermassive stars and discuss prospects for direct and indirect observation with current and future telescopes. I will then describe another recent paper where we attempt to elucidate correlations between active galactic nuclei and the morphology of the host galaxy using a variational autoencoder, a technique from generative modeling. We identify a correlation between host galaxy morphology and AGN activity and thus demonstrate the potential for similar techniques to be applied to larger datasets from future telescopes.

Revelations from studies of low mass galaxies: dark matter and galaxy formation on small scales | |||||||||||
Shany Danieli, Princeton UniversityEvent Type: Astro Seminar | Date: Monday, May 1, 2023 | Time: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM | Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar | Abstract: The number densities, structures, and internal dynamics of low-mass galaxies provide some of the most interesting clues to the nature of dark matter and the theory of galaxy formation on small scales. Up until recently, our understanding of low-mass galaxies has largely been informed by observations of dwarf galaxies that orbit our Milky Way galaxy. I will present novel observational efforts that now enable the discovery of such low surface brightness galaxies beyond our local galactic neighborhood. I will discuss some of the follow-up observations of these extragalactic low-mass galaxies, focusing on their dark matter content and intriguing globular cluster populations, revealing significant diversity and new astrophysical puzzles. I will conclude by discussing ongoing surveys that will be essential in mapping the census and properties of the general population of low-mass galaxies. | |

Supermassive black holes: where do they come from and how do they grow? | |||||||||||
Chris Nagele, HaverfordEvent Type: Informal Astro Talk | Date: Friday, June 9, 2023 | Time: 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM | Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar | Abstract: Supermassive black holes are thought to be one of the fundamental ingredients in galaxy evolution, yet due to the difficulty of direct observation, basic questions such as the origin and growth of these black holes remain unanswered. A promising explanation for the origin of supermassive black holes is the direct collapse hypothesis, where massive gas clouds in the early universe contract to form supermassive stars which then collapse to black holes and become the seeds for observed supermassive black holes. This scenario is difficult to probe observationally because of the extreme distances involved, but one possibility is the general relativistic supernova of a supermassive star, an event which is luminous enough to be observed at high redshift. I will present numerical models of the evolution, instability and explosion of supermassive stars and discuss prospects for direct and indirect observation with current and future telescopes. I will then describe another recent paper where we attempt to elucidate correlations between active galactic nuclei and the morphology of the host galaxy using a variational autoencoder, a technique from generative modeling. We identify a correlation between host galaxy morphology and AGN activity and thus demonstrate the potential for similar techniques to be applied to larger datasets from future telescopes. | |
