Princeton University Thunch Talk

Connecting Compact Object Dynamics with Multi-Messenger Observations in Dense Star Clusters
Claire Ye
12:00pm|Princeton University, Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Frequent dynamical encounters in globular clusters significantly enhance the production of multi-messenger phenomena. It is now well established that globular clusters host robust populations of compact objects, including low-mass X-ray binaries...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

The Quantum Twisting Microscope: Visualizing Waves in Quantum Matter
Shahal Ilani
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: Some of the most fascinating phenomena in nature arise when electrons behave as quantum mechanical waves that interact with one another. But how can we visualize these electronic waves in action? In this talk, I will introduce the Quantum...

Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

TBA
Sal Fu
11:00am|Zoom and Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Each week, we hold a relatively informal seminar/discussion series with an emphasis on extra-galactic and large-scale structure astrophysics.

During Galread a leader/visitor presents a recent paper to the discussion group. The PDF of the paper is...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Berry Curvatures and Adiabatic Observables
Raffaele Resta
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: A sharp definition of what “adiabatic” means is given; it is then shown that the time-dependent expectation value of a quantum-mechanical observable in the adiabatic limit can be expressed— in many cases—by means of the appropriate Berry...
