Physics Department Colloquium
Representation and Culture as Dimensions of Change in the Physical Sciences: A Work in Progress
When
-
Abstract: In this colloquium, Professor Julie Posselt will share findings from her research about trajectories toward diversity, equity, and inclusion among organizations in the physical sciences. Drawing from insights first proposed by quantum theorists, she will present organizational equity efforts from the standpoint of complex systems, and offer practical insights for those who working to improve representation and culture.

The Black Hole Information Paradox in the Age of Holographic Entanglement Entropy
When
-
Abstract: The black hole information paradox — whether information escapes an evaporating black hole or not — remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of theoretical physics. The apparent conflict between validity of semiclassical gravity at low energies and unitarity of quantum mechanics has long been expected to find its resolution in the deep quantum gravity regime.

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
