Our lab uses biophysical methods, with particular emphasis on micromanipulation of single DNA molecules and single chromosomes, to study the internal structure of chromosomes in vivo, and to study chromosome-organizing proteins and DNA topoisomerases in vitro. We also develop mathematical models relevant to these types of experiments.Speaker: John Marko, Northwestern ...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) requires intensive optimization calculations, which now demands nuclear power for the data centers. Logic functions, storage, and data communications each consume ~1pJ/bit, about 6 orders of magnitude higher than the Landauer Limit. This gives rise to 25MW in a Data Center versus the 25Watts of the human ...

From Quantum State Preparation to Robust Quantum OrderPreparing complex many-body states is a central task for quantum computers, but noise during preparation can fundamentally limit what can be achieved. I will give a broad overview of quantum state preparation, focusing on the role of circuit depth, locality, measurements, and feedback. I will then discuss sequential circuits for ...
Over the past decade, Sonoma State University’s EdEon STEM Learning group of educators and technologists has developed an integrated ninth-grade physical science curriculum branded as “Learning by Making” (LbyM). LbyM teaches coding, electronics and sensors as tools for students to design and build their own science experiments. LbyM also teaches ...
