SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Spin detection and nuclear magnetic resonance at the quantum sensitivity limit
DESCRIPTION:Quantum science tools have been pivotal in various precision experiments\, such as gravitational wave detectors\, atomic clocks\, and searches for new fundamental physics and axion dark matter. In experiments with ensembles of spin qubits\, the standard quantum limit on sensitivity scales with the inverse square root of the number of spins. Platforms such as cold atoms\, atomic vapor cells\, and color centers in solids can operate in the regime where this spin projection noise dominates detection of ensemble dynamics. Increasing ensemble size is a promising way to enhance sensitivity. The challenge is that this requires a corresponding reduction in other noise sources. I will present precision nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on macroscopic ensembles of 10^{21} nuclear spins\, with sensitivity limited by the quantum spin projection noise. Additionally\, I will discuss the creation and utilization of spin squeezing in such macroscopic spin ensembles.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships: Melissa Sturge-Apple
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Sturge-Apple of the University of Rochester joins the RCGD Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships.\n\nOver decades\, parenting researchers have successfully conceptualized and empirically documented the various forms of caregiving along with their etiological roots and implications for child development outcomes.  However\, much of this work has relied on top-down approaches that define and distinguish socialization and caregiving constructs based largely or solely on their physical form\, and by extension\, primarily categorizing parenting into ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ behavioral dichotomies. The result of this is a lack of precision or specificity in determinants and sequelae. As a field\, we have still not successfully addressed limitations identified 20 years ago by Collins (2005): “Perhaps most important for future research\, the present framework is a timely reminder of the importance of moving beyond global associations toward divergent predictions\, thus avoiding the frequent\, but only somewhat informative\, conclusion that good things go together and bad things go together (p. 144).” Behavioral systems models can address this gap by more precisely identifying parental socialization goals and the behavioral strategies for achieving those goals within specific child-rearing contexts.  This talk will present how “form (what it looks like)” and “function (what it is designed to do)” in behavioral systems conceptualizations of caregiving can provide greater specificity in parenting behaviors with children. Moreover\, the talk will discuss observational approaches to assessing different caregiving domains\, mothers' and fathers' caregiving\, and the pitfalls and promises of this approach.\n\nAbout the series:\n\nHumans are social animals and from the earliest days of life\, are dependent on the quality of social relationships with significant others: family\, kin\, friends\, and a growing social network of online acquaintances. But\, how do we conduct research and come to understand the social processes transpiring in these significant social connections with others? What are the consequences for individual development and mental health outcomes of having close intimate relationships in one’s life? There is also a darker side to some relationships in the form of violence\, aggression\, and conflict. How do we study these processes? Social media and artificial intelligence have opened up new ways of thinking about “what is a social relationship?” and how many of these “friends” can one truly have. \n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on different types of social relationships\, spanning family and parent-child relationships\, friendships\, peer networks\, romantic relationships\, attachment relationships\, and the use of online media to maintain social connections. Although several speakers are senior scholars with extensive research backgrounds in the field\, many are junior scholars who are traversing new paths into the science of social relationships. Please join us Mondays to learn more about the exciting field of social relationships!\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Brenda Volling and Richard Gonzalez.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Tetrahedral Symbol and Relative Langlands Duality
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nIn the quantum theory of angular momentum\, the Racah--Wigner coefficient\, often known as the 6-j symbol\, is a numerical invariant assigned to a tetrahedron with half-integer edge-lengths. The 6 edge-lengths may be viewed as representations of SU(2) satisfying certain multiplicity-one conditions. One important property of the 6j symbol is its hidden symmetry outside the tetrahedral ones\, originally discovered by Regge.\n\nIn this talk\, we explore a generalized construction\, dubbed tetrahedral symbol\, in the context of rank-1 semisimple groups over local fields\, and explain how the extra symmetries may be explained by relative Langlands duality. Joint work with Akshay Venkatesh.
