### Silviu Pufu

Fri, Oct 1, 2010, 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm
Speaker: Silviu Pufu Princeton University Title: Warped throats get excited: Green's functions and normal modes Abstract: Generalized deformed conifolds (Stenzel spaces) are Ricci flat (2d-2)-dimensional manifolds embedded in C^d through the equation

### Boris Altshuler, Columbia University "Anderson localization: looking forward"

Thu, Sep 30, 2010, 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm
Localization of the eigenfunctions of quantum particles in a random potential was discovered by P.W. Anderson more than 50 years ago. In spite of its respectable maturity and rather intensive theoretical and experimental studies this field is by far not exhausted.

### Scott Tremaine, IAS "2020 Vision: the Decade Survey in Astronomy and Astrophysics"

Thu, Sep 23, 2010, 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm
Last month the National Research Council completed a massive two-year project to prioritize major projects and other activities in astronomy and astrophysics for the next decade. I will review the process and results, and how they were influenced by the scientific and political landscape and by the successes and failures of past decade surveys.

### Andreas Wallraff, "Measuring the correlations of a Microwave Frequency Single Photon source"

Wed, Jun 16, 2010, 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm

ABSTRACT: Circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) allows for excellent control and measurement of the quantum mechanical properties of qubits, photons and their interactions. As a result, circuit QED is an ideal test bed to investigate the quantum nature of light.

Thu, Jun 10, 2010, 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm

ABSTRACT: The Lovasz Local Lemma is a powerful tool in probability theory to show the existence of combinatorial objects meeting a prescribed collection of weakly dependent" criteria.
