Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), based on Einstein\u2019s photoelectric effect, has emerged as a leading tool for exploring this frontier, providing direct, momentum-resolved access to the electronic structure\u2014the \u201cDNA\u201d of quantum materials. Its impact spans cuprate superconductors, topological systems, and two-dimensional materials, where it has both tested theoretical ideas and revealed unexpected behavior. \n\nIn this talk, I will discuss both the progress and remaining challenges in understanding cuprate high-temperature superconductors through the lens of ARPES. From testing theoretical ideas and uncovering unexpected phenomena to resolving long-standing puzzles and benchmarking models, systematic ARPES studies point toward a pathway for achieving high-temperature superconductivity. \n\nIn the poorly screened regime near correlation-driven insulating states, the interplay between strong electron\u2013electron and electron\u2013phonon interactions could enhance pairing strength while suppressing structural instabilities. At the same time, this environment fosters competing orders and fluctuations, giving rise to the rich and complex phenomenology characteristic of these unconventional superconductors.\n\nA.

These observations have enabled astronomers to confirm long-standing ideas on the physics of gas flowing into black holes with temperatures that are hundreds of times greater than at the center of the Sun. In this talk I will describe the successes and challenges of theoretical models of black hole accretion on event horizon scales in the context of these observational advances. I will conclude with ideas on how the interplay of theory and observations can be used to measure the spin of black holes and test the long-standing prediction that the rotational energy of black holes can be extracted to power astrophysical jets.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"153557-21916008@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/153557", "building_id":"1000167", "building_name":"West Hall", "campus_maps_id":"163", "room":"340", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Physics","Science"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department Colloquia", "group_id":"3804", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21916008 } , "148234-21903426": { "datetime_modified":"20260512T112510", "datetime_start":"20270331T160000", "datetime_end":"20270331T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2027-03-31", "date_end":"2027-03-31", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"2027 Helmut W.
