or: How I Learned to Stop Studying and Rock the Casbah
Free probability, random matrices and disorder in organic semiconductors Jiahao Chen, MIT CSAIL, jiahao@mit.edu Random matrix theory has long been used to study the spectral properties of physical systems, and has led to a rich interplay between probability theory and physics [1]. Historically, random matrices have been used to model physical systems with random fluctuations, or systems whose eigenproblems were too difficult to solve numerically. This talk explores applications of RMT to the physics of disorder in organic semiconductors [2,3]. Revisiting the old problem of Anderson localization [4] has shed new light on the emerging field of free probability theory [5]. I will discuss the implications of free probabilistic ideas for finite-dimensional random matrices [6], as well a...

Talk Title: Magnetic Graphene Speaker: Dr Joaquin Fernandez Rossier Institution: International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, Portugal Location: UCL, London, UK Date: 17 November 2014 Abstract: Spontaneous magnetic order is expected to occur in graphene in two different situations: at the zigzag edges at zero applied field and in the Quantum Hall regime, at half filling. In this talk I will discuss our recent [1,2] and not so recent [3-5] theoretical understanding of magnetic order in graphene in these two situations, the experimental state of the art, and the experiments that would conclusively confirm, or else, recent claims [6] about room temperature edge ferromagnetism in graphene.

Recorded from IQC's NanoMRI conference 2015. In this talk we will review the progress of the magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) group at the CEA-Saclay on the study of the magnetization dynamics [1] in circular nanodots (saturated and vortex ground state). The talk will concentrate on the contribution of MRFM to study the fundamental problematic of spin transfer phenomena in magnetic nano-objects [2,3,4]. We will study the case of spin transfer devices, which requires a charge current perpendicular to the plane to transfer angular momentum between different magnetic layers (a case restricted to conducting materials) and the more recent case of spin transfer produced by spin-orbit effects [5]. Here a right hand side rule links the deflected direction of the electron and the orienta...
- By: Ghazal Tayebirad, University of Heidelberg, Germany - Date: 2011-05-09 12:00:00 - Description: A comprehensive study of the coherent control of the time-resolved LandauZener tunneling of a BoseEinstein condensate in a periodic po- tential subjected to an additional static force is presented. This system en- joys a continuing popularity in many experimental and theoretical groups [1, 2]. In excellent agreement with experimental results, our theoretical calculations, based on a mean-eld eective theory for a many-particle condensate, explain the temporal behavior of the Landau-Zener tunneling [3]. While for a typical initial state of a BEC being strongly localized in momentum space, we observe a step-like structure in the survival proba- bility as a function of time (resembli...
"Petascale Particle-in-Cell Simulation of Kinetic Effects in High Energy Density Plasmas" -- Frank Tsung, University of California, Los Angeles The UCLA Simulation Group has been on the frontier of high performance kinetic simulation of plasmas since its early days with its founder John Dawson. Over the subsequent 40+ years, the group has developed a full suite of codes (with various models for fields and particles) to study kinetic effects in plasmas for a variety of applications, including plasma-based accelerators, laser fusion, and basic plasma physics. In November 2014, simulations performed on Blue Waters was featured on the cover of the Journal Nature. The results from that article will be presented, and we will also highlight recently published results featuring simulations perfor...

Raemi Monasson Ecole Normale Superieure; Simons Center for Systems Biology, IAS January 25, 2011 Boolean Threshold Functions (BTF) arise in many contexts, ranging from computer science and learning theory to theoretical neurobiology. In this talk, I will present non-rigorous approaches developed in the statistical physics of disordered systems to characterize BTF in a quantitative way [1], with an emphasis on computational and geometrical aspects. These techniques will be illustrated on two particular cases: the celebrated perceptron (Linear Threshold Function) [2], and the more realistic tempotron model of a neuron [3,4].
