SETI Live: Evidence of Planet Collision - LivestreamAstronomers may have just witnessed the aftermath of a massive planetary collision in another star system - offering a rare glimpse into how worlds are destroyed… and possibly reborn. Join host Dr. Moiya McTier and guest Anastasios Tzanidakis (University of Washington) as they break down new evidence suggesting that two ...
Superconducting circuits support quantum degrees of freedom that can be used to encode quantum bits. These superconducting qubits are a leading quantum information technology, but they are plagued by errors when performing multi-qubit conditional operations. One alternative is to make multi-mode circuits where multi-qubit operations are natural. I will introduce ...
This talk is focused on new techniques for the inverse design of large-scale structures in engineering that incorporate many design parameters based on combining mathematically rigorous gradient-based approaches like topological optimization with artificial-intelligence (AI) techniques for reducing the dimensionality of the design problem by several orders of magnitude. Despite the ...

NightLifeThursdays hit different at NightLife. The museum comes alive after hours - wilder, more curious, and full of exciting creatures. Grab your friends, grab a hand-crafted drink, and let yourself wander into whatever weird or wonderful corner calls you. You never know what you’ll stumble into next, and that’s the ...
Architecture isn’t just about style or aesthetics - it’s about navigating a complex web of constraints, from budgets and regulations to human needs and lived experience. So how do architects turn all of that into something real?In this lecture, Howard Blecher, principal of Blecher Building + Urban Design in San ...
