Ethical Analysis As a Core Part of CS Research - LivestreamThis talk is meant to foster discussion on ethical analysis of technological research: particularly, why it's important and how CS researchers can be equipped to analyze tech in an increasingly digital society. We will discuss important issues we knew about before CSCS, how they apply to real world examples as ...

Low Temperature Properties of Glasses - LivestreamA wide variety of amorphous materials exhibit similar behavior in their low temperature thermal properties regardless of their chemical composition. Examples include a linear specific heat and a T2 thermal conductivity. These features have been attributed to tunneling two level systems (TLS). However, the standard TLS model has not been ...
Last fall, a team at Google announced the first-ever demonstration of "quantum computational supremacy"---that is, a clear quantum speedup over a classical computer for some task---using a 53-qubit programmable superconducting chip called Sycamore. In addition to engineering, their accomplishment built on a decade of research in quantum complexity theory. This ...

Cosmology in the era of multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves - LivestreamMotivated by the exciting prospect of a new wealth of information arising from the first observations of gravitational and electromagnetic radiation from the same astrophysical phenomena, the Dark Energy Survey (DES) has established a search and discovery program for the optical transients associated with LIGO/Virgo events (DESGW). Using the Dark ...
