The Aspen Center for Physics invites the listener to imagine with Professor Chang the particle fields that exist in empty space, to share the deep appreciation that particle physicists have for the natural world, and to imagine together the possible future in this quest to understand particle fields.

Our entire knowledge of early galaxy formation is in a state of flux. In this talk, Whitaker introduces you to the capabilities of NASA’s newest flagship mission and highlight a few of the most exciting and revolutionary results to date. Among these is the story of distinguishing the most distant galaxies from those enshrouded in thick veils of dust while teasing out the hidden monsters inside.

Nathalie describes recent efforts to achieve major improvements in two different qubit platforms: nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond and superconducting circuits.

Recently, there have been exciting breakthroughs in the study of quantum materials. This has led scientists to create new methods for examining their basic qualities. In this talk, Yacoby discusses some of the recent projects he's worked on to develop new local quantum sensing techniques. He also talks about how these techniques can help us better understand quantum materials.

Artificial neural networks are everywhere now because they are so useful. They do everything from predicting the weather to writing essays and translating them into Spanish. Their abilities have exploded during the last dozen years because they have grown far bigger. Unfortunately, though, bigger neural networks require more energy to train and run.

Creating New Universes Inside of Quantum Materials with Erica Carlson, Purdue University.

"Oppenheimer" is the remarkable history of the development of the atomic bomb at Los Alamos, New Mexico, led by physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. In this informal and non-technical talk Dr. Gordon Baym discusses the historical setting, the establishment of Los Alamos, the basic science of nuclear weapons, and the involvement of the American scientific community in the project, as well as Oppenheimer himself as a scientist.
