Direct Observation of Anyonic Braiding StatisticsA basic tenet of quantum theory is that all elementary particles are either bosons or fermions. Ensembles of bosons or fermions behave differently due to differences in their underlying quantum statistics. Starting in the early 1980’s it was theoretically conjectured that excitations that are neither bosons nor fermions may exist ...
In this talk, I will cover a few recent papers and projects that focus on the measurement of emissions and the costs, benefits, and opportunities associated with a transition to sustainable, deeply decarbonized, and equitable energy systems is needed in the United States. For example, in [1], we show that ...

A vector spin glass made of atoms and photonsSpin glasses are canonical examples of complex matter. Although much about their structure remains uncertain, they inform the description of a wide array of complex phenomena, ranging from magnetic ordering in metals with impurities to aspects of evolution, protein folding, climate models, combinatorial optimization, and artificial intelligence. Advancing experimental insight ...
Climatetech refers to companies trying to reverse climate change using technology. We explore the key factors that drive long term success for companies that wish to make a positive impact on climate change and how startups can incorporate these learnings into their strategic plans. By using the physics of business, ...

How to Build Personalization into LLM RecommendationsWe enable Large Language Models (LLM) with personalization capability. This is not specific to the LLM (Open AI's ChatGPT, Athropic's Claude, Meta's Llama 2, Googles,...)Today, LLMs are not good at personalization and providing recommendations. They may advise physicians and financial advisors to "ask professionals" in their respective fields for help, ...
