Yosi Avron (Technion) | Shor in Shorts |Abstract:I shall give an elementary introduction to the Peter Shor algorithm for factoring. Quantum magic allows one to find the period of a periodic function,…
Gabi Zafrir (Stony Brook University) | Understanding quantum field theory with dimensional reduction | Abstract: The world around us is made of particles that interact through various forces. The behavior of the…
Erez Braun (Technion) | Control of animal morphogenesis by external electric fields |Abstract:The current picture of animal morphogenesis- the emergence of form and function in a developing animal, relies on biochemical…
Noam Soker (Technion) | Astrophysical Naturalness |Abstract:I suggest that stars introduce mass and density scales that lead to `naturalness' in the Universe. Namely, two ratios of order unity. The first ratio…
Shahar Hadar (University of Haifa at Oranim) | Extreme Black Holes |Abstract:The spacetime geometry of a black hole is characterized by a handful of parameters: Its mass, angular momentum, and…
Matan Mussel (University of Haifa) | Kinetics of volume transition in polymer gels | Abstract: A gel is a soft material composed of a solid phase interpenetrated by a liquid…
