Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma Podcast
1) Nonlinear dynamics of active particles
Dr Rahil Valani provides an introduction to active matter (a field focusing on active particles' nonlinear dynamical behaviors) exploring the active system of superwalking droplets that can exhibit hy...Show More
2) The physics of “flat” electrons
Dr Dumitru Călugăru explores the main strategies for engineering flat band materials, discusses band topology concepts and their relevance to flat band physics, and highlights the role of strong inter...Show More
3) How to program a quantum computer
Dr Dominik Hahn explains how a quantum computer is built, discusses how quantum operations are programmed in a way similar to classical computing, and showcases examples of quantum programs running on...Show More
4) A New Twist on Topology: The Rise of “Moiré Materials”
Prof Sid Parameswaran discusses how quantum condensed matter physics has been revolutionized by “moiré materials”, made by stacking individual atomically thin layers such as graphene with a relative t...Show More
5) Anyons: New Types of Particles in Quantum Physics
While it was originally believed that only bosons and fermions were allowed by quantum mechanics, in fact, when objects are restricted to move on a two-dimensional plane, new types of particles called...Show More
6) Topology in the Physics of Condensed Matter
Prof Shivaji Sondhi explains how topology is applied to understanding properties of condensed matter systems, providing an introduction to topics including defects & solitons, the quantum Hall effect,...Show More
7) The Hubble Tension
Professor Prateek Agrawal discusses the ongoing crisis in cosmology regarding the measurement of the Hubble parameter by two separate probes in this Morning of Theoretical Physics talk from 9th Novem...Show More
8) Cosmic strings and gravitational waves from the early Universe
Professor Edward Hardy discusses how the network of cosmic strings that occurs in some theories of the early Universe evolves and emits gravitational waves in this Morning of Theoretical Physics talk...Show More
9) Chirality in living systems
Prof Alexander Mietke discusses recent findings in this field that have linked chirality in living systems to the formation of a left-right body axis in organisms and to a new kind of elasticity that ...Show More
10) Imaging living systems
Dr Adrien Hallou presents a new methodology called 'spatial mechano-transcriptomics', which allows the simultaneous measurement of the mechanical and transcriptional states of cells in a multicellular...Show More
