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).
Abstract: More than one hundred years ago, exploration of the Earth's polar regions reached a fever pitch. Competition for the South Pole ultimately led to scientific discoveries whose legacy persists to the present day. Similarly, the poles of the Moon have become a new frontier for science and exploration. Perennial shadows in near-polar craters -- many of them named for famous Antarctic explorers -- remain cold enough, < 100 K, to trap water and other volatiles for billions of years. Where might these volatiles come from?
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.

Join us for the talk in the auditorium at 2:00 p.m., and a reception with cake in the h-Bar following the talk!
Abstract: Reconfigurable arrays of neutral atoms combined with coherent Rydberg interactions are an exciting platform to study quantum many-body phenomena and quantum information protocols.
There will be a reception in the h-bar following the talk.
Abstract:
Klaus Mølmer, one of our current Visiting Fellows, will be giving a talk on Tuesday, 4/25 at 2 pm in the JILA Auditorium. Please mark your calendars and come hear about Dr. Mølmer’s work! There will also be a reception with cake in the h-bar (3rd floor, X-wing) following the talk.
Followed by a reception in the h-bar (with cake) at 3 pm.
