Complex and Heterogeneous Biophysical Systems Studied with 2DIR
Abstract: I will present three projects. In the first two, we used two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy to study properties of some complex peptide and protein assemblies 1: Proline-arginine (PR) dipeptide repeats are an example of a growing number of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) known to assemble into membrane-less organelles by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), and has also been implicated in the disease mechanism of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Speed limits and locality in many-body quantum dynamics
Coffee, tea and cookies will be available in G1B31 (across from G1B20) from 3:30–3:50 p.m.

Supermassive Black Hole Modeling for the Low-Frequency Gravitational-Wave Era
Abstract: Supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries are extremely powerful sources of gravitational waves (GWs) at ~ nanoHertz to milliHertz frequencies. They are likely candidates to explain the evidence for a nanoHertz GW background recently presented by pulsar timing arrays (PTAs).

Heralded Spectroscopy - a new probe for nanocrystal multiexciton photophysics
Abstract:
Emitters of quantum light are at the core of quantum optic science and a key resource for emerging classical and quantum technologies. Yet, to date, the tools available to study multiple-photon quantum light sources, specifically temporally and spectrally in parallel, have been limited. A prominent example is multiply-excited semiconductor quantum dots - an intriguing system that features rich physics and technological potential but lacks direct observation techniques.
Hamiltonian Learning of classical and quantum field theories
Talk may be moved to JILA Auditorium if X590 is not large enough to accomodate all attendees.

Condensed Phase Isomerization through Tunneling Gateways
Abstract: Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) provide sufficient sensitivity to enable laser induced fluorescence (LIF) experiments in the mid-infrared, an exciting technical development for studying molecule-surface interactions. In this talk, I will present results of experiments on the vibrational dynamics of monolayers and multilayers of solid CO adsorbed at the surface of a NaCl crystal that provide observations of quantum state resolved dynamics.
