Physics Colloquium : "Can physics help us understand cancer metastasis?"
Location:Levin building, Lecture Hall No. 8Mon, 24/06/2019 - 12:00 to 13:30Lecturer: Prof. Herbert Levine, Northeastern University Abstract: Until very recently, most cancer biologists operated with the assumption that the most common route to metastasis involved cells of the primary tumor transforming to a motile single-cell phenotype. This change allowed them to migrate individually to distant organs, eventually leading to clonal growths in other locations.Biological Physics Seminar:"Bacterial transcription initiation - lessons from single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy"
Location:Danciger B building, Seminar roomThu, 20/06/2019 - 14:00 to 15:30Lecturer: Dr. Eitan Lerner - HUJI Abstract:Enrico Rossi
Thu, 20/06/2019 - 12:00 to 13:00Nonlinear Physics Seminar:"Narrow escape and occupation statistics of interacting diffusing particles"
Location:Danciger B building, Seminar roomWed, 19/06/2019 - 12:00 to 13:30Lecturer: Tal Agranov Abstract: Fluctuations far from equilibrium are ubiquitous in nature, yet their theory is still in infancy. A significant progress in understanding such fluctuations has been made possible with the recent appearance of the Macroscopic Fluctuation Theory (MFT) [1], which describes transport properties of ensembles of interacting diffusing particles.Physics Colloquium : "Room-temperature quantum memories from nanoseconds to hours"
Location:Levin building, Lecture Hall No. 8Mon, 17/06/2019 - 12:00 to 13:30Lecturer: Dr. Ofer Firstenberg, Weizmann Institute of Science Abstract: Warm atomic gasses are among the simplest quantum systems, offering real-life applications in deployable millimeter-size devices. They can strongly couple to optical fields and exhibit superb coherence properties at or above room temperature. Indeed, atomic gasses are at the heart of miniature atomic clocks and inside the most sensitive magnetometers and gyroscopes.Special Seminar: Enrico Rossi
Sun, 16/06/2019 - 12:00 to 13:30"Van der Waals heterostructures with spin-orbit coupling" Van der Waals (vdW) systems offer an unprecedented freedom to combine materials with different electronic properties. Such freedom allows the creation of novel heterostructures with unique and tunable effects. In this talk I will discuss the properties of vdW systems in which one of the layers has strong spin-orbit coupling. I will consider in detail two exemplary vdW systems in this class: heterostructures formed by graphene and a topological insulator (TI), and heterostructuresDmitry Kovrizhin
Thu, 13/06/2019 - 12:00 to 13:00Title: Casimir energy and semiclassical degeneracies for magnetic Skyrmions Abstract:Nanophotonics and Optics Seminar:"NP-complete Problems and Physics"
Location:Location: Levin building, Lecture Hall No. 8 , Safra CampusTue, 11/06/2019 - 16:00 to 19:00Lecturer: Prof.Scott Aaronson, University of Texas Abstract: One of the most basic questions at the intersection of computer science and physics is: can NP-complete problems be efficiently solved using the resources of the physical world? I'll survey the status of this question in 2019, touching on the P vs. NP problem; analogPhysics Colloquium : "Gravitational waves and electromagnetic emission from a neutron star merger"
