Mitchell Luskin - Physics and Math at the Moiré Scale (May 9, 2024)
Переглядів 26414 днів тому
The incommensurate stacking of multilayered two-dimensional materials has become an active experimental method to investigate physical properties and a challenging problem from a theoretical perspective. The configuration space is a natural description of such incommensurate layered materials and gives an exact formulation of electronic properties such as the density of states and Kubo optical ...
Sara Haravifard - Exploring New Candidates for Dirac Quantum Spin Liquids (May 14, 2024)
Переглядів 11614 днів тому
Frustrated quantum magnets offer a promising arena for exploring exotic states of matter. The talk will focus on the newly designed quantum magnets which are predicted to host a Quantum Spin Liquid (QSL) state. QSL is a novel state of matter in which spins do not order even at low temperatures, exhibiting exotic properties like tractionalized excitations and topological order. This presentation...

Переглядів 10514 днів тому
Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors and heterostructures offer an exciting platform for the study of tunable correlated electronic phenomena. The interaction between electrons in 2D semiconductors can be adjusted by manipulating the electron density and confinement potential, leading to the formation of various electron solid phases. When electrons are confined within a moire su...
Xiaodong Xu - Observation of Fractional Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect (March 19, 2024)
Переглядів 19214 днів тому
The interplay between spontaneous symmetry breaking and topology can result in exotic quantum states of matter. A celebrated example is the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect, which exhibits an integer quantum Hall effect at zero magnetic field due to topologically nontrivial bands and intrinsic magnetism. In the presence of strong electron-electron interactions, fractional-QAH (FQAH) effect a...

Vocal communication is central to our everyday lives, facilitating social exchange.

Iron-based superconductors represent an intriguing playground to study the role of electronic correlation in the realization of quantum orders. On the one hand a wealth of evidence shows that the phenomenology of the normal state can be fully accounted in terms of Hund’s metal physics, on the other hand the emergence of quantum orders at low-temperature can be explained as the results of Fermi ...

Hund metals are paramagnetic phases in which high-spin local configurations dominate. This paradigm is now a useful guidance to interpret the physics of many transition-metal compounds, like Ruthenates and Iron-based superconductors. I will show how this physics is extremized by moving towards a half-filled Mott insulator, and that it gives rise to charge instabilities and heavy fermionic behav...

A wide range of animals live and move in groups. Many animals do better in groups than alone when, for example, foraging for food, migrating and avoiding predators.

    one of the best suggestions of the algorithm. there is a phrase widely used in education circles nowadays: 'Learning how to learn' and it is often criticised as human babies are already born with the ability to learn. But in the case of machines I suspect that is the way to go. They lack the genetic encoding we embedded in our biological systems for so long. Maybe we should treat these early machine learning models as their DNA?

    33:16 Mark my words. There won't be any foundational-level model can achieve 5-digit of accuracy like the finite difference does for PDE, which was popularized three hundred years ago by Euler. Using the model alone (without the help of non-blackbox outer algorithms or second-order optimizer), no matter you have 1000 billion params, or what, never. 1000 years later our AI overlords will still use finite difference (maybe the BDF table will be learned by blackbox).

    So wisdom is better than raw intellect. Got it. The more we know, the more it enhances anything else we do and think about. Not really a mystery, but nice to see the theory and it being proven. ML has always felt wrong to me because of the "toddler" he describes. Now that ai can know everything that the entire human race knows, of course it will start solving problems we can't think to solve alone with our own minds and data within. Who built our ai?

      Mostly because of the folding analogy around 12:00 that helps build a good intuition about how chaining the layers of the neural network from perspective of a single neuron does produce a complex function that can learn to approximate complex relationships. The main topic of the presentation is fine, but more like an early sketch of an idea how we might extract new simplified scientific models from LLM - but the prompt method doesn’t seem to be scalable enough for practical application. The core insight seems to valid, though.

I know it was used only on small datasets and has some other flaws, but this is not worth talking about since we will make it work. They also refrence Miles Cranmer.
