Physics Department Colloquium

Representation and Culture as Dimensions of Change in the Physical Sciences: A Work in Progress

When
-

Abstract: In this colloquium, Professor Julie Posselt will share findings from her research about trajectories toward diversity, equity, and inclusion among  organizations in the physical sciences. Drawing from insights first proposed by quantum theorists, she will present organizational equity efforts from the standpoint of complex systems, and offer practical insights for those who working to improve representation and culture.

The Black Hole Information Paradox in the Age of Holographic Entanglement Entropy

When
-

Abstract: The black hole information paradox — whether information escapes an evaporating black hole or not — remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of theoretical physics. The apparent conflict between validity of semiclassical gravity at low energies and unitarity of quantum mechanics has long been expected to find its resolution in the deep quantum gravity regime.
