Physics Department presents Resonant time-symmetry breaking in classical and quantum oscillators

Presented by: Professor Mark Dykman, Michigan State University A periodically driven system has discrete time-translation symmetry with the period of the driving. A nonlinear oscillator allows one to see peculiar features of quantum and classical fluctuations as well as tunneling and dissipation in resonantly driven systems. Generally, if a quantum system is in a Floquet

Physics Department presents Indirect Excitons

Presented by Leonid V. Butov, University of California at San Diego A spatially indirect exciton (IX), also known as an interlayer exciton, is a bound pair of an electron and

Physics Department presents The World According to a Risk Manager

Presented by Dr. Ilya Grigorenko, CLS-Group Room: CTP 801N Today, I am going to provide a comprehensive review of the historical evolution of Risk Management, its underlying purpose, why it is important, and the contemporary challenges it faces. Additionally, I will discuss the intricate relationships between modern finance, mathematics, and theoretical physics, illuminating the interplay
