Math Physics Seminar, Jeffrey Schenker, Michigan State, "Localization in the disordered Holstein model"
Tue, Mar 8, 2016, 4:30 pm5:30 pm
The Holstein model (in the one particle sector) describes a lattice particle interacting with independent Harmonic oscillators at each site of the lattice. We consider this model with on site disorder in the particle potential. This is proposed a simple model in which it may be possible to test some ideas regarding multi/many-body localization…
How to Be a Male Ally to Women in STEM - Dr. Christopher Kilmartin
Thu, Feb 11, 2016, 12:00 pm1:00 pm
Although women have made considerable progress in entering STEM fields, they continue to be an underrepresented minority, and the male-dominated cultures of these fields can pose challenges to their inclusion. Most men are respectful of women and want to be welcoming and inclusive, yet many are unsure about how to do so. In this presentation Dr…

Quantum Levitation, Renewable Energy Technologies, and One Second after the Big Bang” - Prof. Chris Tully
Fri, May 31, 2013, 4:30 pm5:30 pm
We take a look at different ways to inspire interest in the physics of renewable energy technologies and how to start students on the road to challenge how the world perceives energy use. We look at modest-scale demonstrations involving Solar panels and 1 Farad supercaps, incandescent and CFL lighting, and the spinning of a Coke can with…

"Fundamental Physics and the LHC: A Progress Report"-Nima Arkani-Hamed- IAS
Wed, Apr 17, 2013, 4:00 pm5:00 pm
"Last July's discovery of the Higgs particle at the Large Hadron Collider was a triumph for both experiment and theory in fundamental physics. But the Higgs also introduces major conceptual paradoxes that strongly suggest we are missing essential new physical principles. Chief amongst these is the severe ``naturalness" or ``fine-tuning" problem,…
