Math meets music: the surprising symmetry of string theory and Schoenberg
What do the works of an early 20 th century composer have in common with the theoretical physics concept of supersymmetry? Let Dr. S. James Gates Jr., string theorist and...
Pushing the frontiers of gravitational encounters and collisionless dynamics
The long range nature of gravity complicates the dynamics of self-gravitating many-body systems such as galaxies and dark matter (DM) halos. Relaxation/equilibration of perturbed galaxies and cold dark matter halos...

Luke Santi Award winner driven by passions for people, physics, and fresh powder
Whether swooshing down a ski slope or tuning lasers in a quantum computing research lab, it’s all physics to Miles Cranmer. In fact, he recently got a painful reminder of...
First-principle approach to the superpositions of gravitational fields in atom interferometry
Understanding the fundamental nature of gravity at the interface with quantum theory is a major open question in theoretical physics. Recent progress in experiments has enabled probing the interaction of...

Causality and Ideal Measurements of Smeared Fields in Quantum Field Theory
The usual quantum mechanical description of measurements, unitary kicks, and other local operations has the potential to produce pathological causality violations in the relativistic setting of quantum field theory (QFT)...
