- Toward understanding supranuclear-density matter with gravitational waves
- Time: 2:00 pm
- Place: Join Zoom Meeting: Meeting ID: 965 9696 7335
- Speaker: Koutarou Kyutoku , Chiba University
- Abstract: Properties of supranuclear-density matter governed by quantum chromodynamics (QCD) are yet to be understood. One of the most important problems is how hadronic matter transitions to quark matter as the density increases. Neutron stars serve as a natural laboratory to solve these problems, and gravitational waves emitted by binary neutron stars are among the promising tools. In particular, post merger gravitational waves will tell us about the densest matter in the universe. In this talk, after briefly reviewing current constraints on the equation of state, I will discuss future prospects for understanding QCD phase structure mainly based on our numerical-relativity simulations.
NOTE: All participants and hosts are now required to sign into a Zoom account prior to joining meetings hosted by UC Berkeley.

- Quantum Coffee Hour
- Time: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
- Place: Rm.5294, Chamberlin Hall
- Abstract: Please join us for the WQI Quantum Coffee today at 3PM in the Physics Faculty Lounge (Rm.5294 in Chamberlin Hall). This series, which takes place approximately every other Tuesday, aims to foster a casual and collaborative atmosphere where faculty, post-docs, students, and anyone with an interest in quantum information sciences can come together. There will be coffee and treats.
- M.S. In Physics – Quantum Computing Event
- Research Flash Presentation: Device Fabrication for Visualizing 2D Magnetism with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy
- Time: 4:00 pm - 4:15 pm
- Place: 5280 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Siwei Wang, M.S. in Physics - Quantum Computing, UW-Madison
- Abstract: Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Spectroscopy (STS) are promising techniques to visualize magnetism in 2D material with high spatial resolution. The atomic resolution of STM/STS has demanded an atomically clean surface for measurement. Fabricating atomically clean devices with the air-and photo- sensitive CrI3 2D magnet has been the bottleneck ever since the project’s perception. Techniques such as tip cleaning and annealing are able push out the bubbles, polymers and other defects generated in the fabrication process. In this talk I will discuss the efforts towards developing parameters for these techniques on the atomic force microscope and anneal chamber.
