From nadia.flodgren at fysik.su.se Mon Jan 16 15:39:22 2023 From: nadia.flodgren at fysik.su.se (Nadia Flodgren) Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2023 14:39:22 +0000 Subject: [Drand] =?windows-1252?q?VB=3A_Extra_annual_meeting_for_the_stude?= =?windows-1252?q?nt_council_=28F=C4R=29?= In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <355ffca40bb2490eacec6a55328b4ee8@fysik.su.se> Hi PhD students, if you have teaching duties now, it would be very good if you could mention to your students that FÄR (the student council at Fysikum) is looking for new members and are going to hold an extra meeting to elect new representatives (see attached powerpoint (1 slide)). If any bachelor or master students are interested in joining FÄR they should go to the meeting. Kind regards Nadia Flodgren Chair of Fysikum PhD council ________________________________ Från: studentombud.sus Skickat: den 16 januari 2023 11:39 Till: Quentin Perceval Xavier Pognan; Jonathan Wiskandt; Nadia Flodgren Ämne: Extra annual meeting for the student council (FÄR) Hi, This e-mail goes out to the PhD council chairs at Fysikum, MISU and the Department of Astronomy. I wanted to ask you for help regarding an upcoming extra annual meeting for Fysikums ämnesråd (FÄR) which is the student council that organizes students (on bachelor- and master level) at your three departments. They have had some trouble with getting students involved in the council and don’t have chairperson at the moment. So I will help them with arranging an extra annual meeting where we will elect a new chair and student representatives to the open positions. So hopefully we can get the council up and running again. I wonder if you could send out this PowerPoint slide about the meeting to your PhD councils so that the PhD students, if they have time, can show it quick if they have a class with students and just remind the students that they are very welcome to join the meeting. This would be much appreciated. I’ll attach an English and a Swedish version in this mail. Let me know if you have any questions! Best regards, Carl Tjernell Ombud PhD Student and Student Ombud 08-674 62 14 carl.tjernell at sus.su.se Stockholms universitets studentkår /Stockholm University Student Union Universitetsvägen 2A -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Do you want to join in on the fun by giving a talk? You can sign up here: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/eEqODEve This Friday the 20th of January at 16:00 in the Nordita lunch area we'll kick off with a talk about sustainability by Antonio, followed by delicious Swedish pastries. Antonio Capezza Disposable sanitary items: an established lifestyle with giant sustainability burdens The worldwide population and the increased accessibility of disposable sanitary items boost the market even during pandemic times. About 20% of this market accounted for diapers and incontinence products. For example, only 1 child produces up to 1 ton of waste every year in diapers, representing 4% of the total household waste and the 3rd most common item encountered in landfills. Naturally, the amount of waste generated is higher considering all disposable products. Thus, the sanitary industry carries a large environmental footprint, especially since these products are single-use and comprise 70% non-biodegradable plastics. At the same, recent solutions relying on renewable resources to produce biobased plastics are also becoming an issue when it requires the exploitation of virgin resources (crops, trees, etc.). There are also ethical issues with using food-grade resources as material building blocks. Science is taking a new direction to comply with sustainability and must now consider the entire value chain of a product: from raw materials to new waste. In this regard, the agro-food industry is important in finding sustainable materials for the disposable sanitary sector. The agro-food industry produces tons of waste daily that cannot be used as food or feed. At this point, our utmost goal is to create safe, biodegradable materials that can eventually be used as absorbents in sanitary items. The challenging task is to find a solution that is not degrading into microplastics and can be produced using regular polymer technologies and with industrial waste. The recent advances in finding solutions that fulfill the most sustainable criteria from cradle-to-cradle approaches will be presented, including future perspectives and possibilities.

Because they are projected to lose a significant amount of their mass in the upcoming centuries, this input of freshwater to the global oceans will have serious consequences regarding sea-level rise, affecting a significant share of the World's population. Ice sheet models can predict sea-level rise, but need to be evaluated against empirical data of past changes to be sure that they represent ice sheet processes accurately. Here we use large-scale, idealised, and regional-scale model setups to understand the main climate drivers behind changes in Dronning Maud Land (East Antarctica) for periods that were both warmer and colder than present. When evaluating high-resolution model results against empirical data, it becomes clear that just as numerical models use data to validate their results, the interpretation of in-situ datasets can be improved with the aid of numerical models. In short, the results presented here are a push towards closer collaboration between numerical modellers and field scientists, who should work in tandem at all stages, from experimental design and sampling planning to interpretation of results.

With the Zwicky Transient Facility, we observed a supernova which was gravitationally lensed by a massive galaxy, resulting in four images of the same object. The supernova was baptised ‘SN Zwicky’ and at the time of release, it was the fourth ever observed multiply imaged supernova. Gravitationally lensed supernovae are incredibly rare and powerful: they can reveal more about high-redshift supernova physics, substructures in massive galaxies, and the expansion of the Universe. After the initial discovery of SN Zwicky, a thrilling time followed in which we coordinated some of the best telescopes in the world to fill in the missing puzzle pieces.

Join us on Friday the 24th of February at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Stuart McAlpine about cosmological simulations. Stuart McAlpine An introduction to Cosmological Simulations of the Universe In this talk, I will give a quick introduction to an aspect of numerical astronomy that has exploded over the last decade: cosmological simulations. I will discuss their many forms, e.g., N-body simulations, cosmological simulations, hydrodynamical simulations, isolated merger simulations, and constrained realisation simulations. Why do we need them and how do we interpret them? I will briefly overview their history, how to put a cosmological simulation together, and, importantly, what kind of things we should look out for when comparing against the various cosmological simulations out there in the community. As an aside, numerical simulations can also be art! How to get numerical astronomy to the public has always been a difficult task. I will mention some outreach projects we have done with the simulations over the years, such as projection light shows, galaxy builders, and virtual reality.

One important part in this process is to probe the opinon among current and previous PhD students at the department. We therefore ask you to please help us by filling in the survey which you can find at https://forms.gle/aWutuzfVuarr7VEm6 The survey is anonymous and will most likely take on the order of ten minutes to complete. A healthy response rate is essential for us to be able to improve to course for future students, so your participation is very useful. We would appreciate if we can have your reply no later than March 15.

One aspect is usually different at Fysikum from the description below, namely that instead of payment the effort is translated into prolongation. Best regards, Emely Call for supervisors to 2023 Summer school for high schools’ students Stockholm University Science Faculty (NatFak) finances this summers school which has been ran for decades. It is a great experience and we need to inspire younger students by introducing them to our world of science!! However, this year there are some differences to previous years. The faculty stress the importance that all sections are actively involved in the summer school and as a requirement it was decided by the faculty board that a minimum of supervisor will be presented by each section to the summer school as follows: Mathematics - 2 supervisors Physics - 3 supervisors Geoscience - 4 supervisors Biology - 6 supervisors Chemistry - 6 supervisors The supervisors are normally PhD students but could also be interested postdocs or scientists. English speaking supervisors are accepted. Each supervisor will have a group of 6-10 students and the supervisor designs a 2-week project based on their own research work. 2023 we plan to run the summer school on SU campus between 12-22nd of June. The supervision covers ca 80% of the 2 weeks´ time. Included is the task to correct the reports during fall. As a compensation to the supervisors, 15000kr will be paid that can be used for conference fees, travel to collaborators or purchases of computers or other technical equipment. As soon as each sections have the names of the supervisors – send them to us so we can get in contact with them and inform them further. We need the list of names no later than 14th of April. If you have any questions – please contact Pia Harryson (pia.harryson at dbb.su.se ) or Jens Danielsson (jens.danielsson at dbb.su.se ) who recently took over the summer school from Agneta Norén. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Gerben Oling Everything’s Relative: Spacetime and Gravity between Newton and Einstein When your equations are too complicated, sometimes you have to just make up new ones. Einstein taught us that the speed of light is absolute, which means space and time should be joined in a single geometric object called spacetime. He also showed how gravity can be understood as the curvature of this geometry. However, in all but the most ideal situations, it’s extremely hard to solve Einstein’s equations for gravity. In this talk, I will motivate and introduce tools for interpolating between Einstein’s gravity and good old-fashioned Newtonian physics using ‘Newton-Cartan’ spacetime geometry. While some of these concepts have been known for a long time, they have recently been dusted off and modernized. This was motivated in part by new and exciting results in string theory and holography, where these methods can help us to understand previously-inaccessible corners of the complicated full theory, as I will briefly mention at the end of the talk.

Join us on Friday the 10th of March at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Stephen Stopyra about cosmic large-scale structures. Stephen Stopyra Inferring Cosmic Structures with Field Level Inference Large scale structures such as cosmic voids and galaxy clusters are a crucial window into cosmology and fundamental physics. Accurately estimating properties of cosmic structures such as their cluster mass and void size has historically been difficult, however, since the underlying dark matter distribution cannot be directly observed. Many of these challenges can be overcome, however, by using Field Level Inference with the Bayesian Origin Reconstruction from Galaxies (BORG) algorithm. This approach uses forward modelling to sample the posterior distribution of possible initial conditions, which can then be resimulated in order to study the properties of the dark matter distribution in the local Universe. In this talk, I discuss recent progress in using posterior resimulations to estimate the masses of galaxy clusters, and in using posterior simulations with inverted initial conditions to construct an antihalo void catalogue.

This is a second call for supervisors to 2023 Summer school for high schools’ students.  It is still some time before the end date 14^th  of April – but we would like to know how the interest is among your PhD students and how many supervisors you have at the moment. We have visited 22 high schools (gymnasium) and send out information to even more! Schools are all the way from Uppsala, Norrtälje to Nyköping and Botkyrka. The interest among students is very high this year! We would like to have a contact person from each section and an update on how many supervisors you have at the moment. The list of supervisors at chemistry is full  (places went fast) and we hope that the interest at the other sections is equally high! The numbers of supervisors from each section are as follows: Mathematics  - 2 supervisors Physics            - 3 supervisors Geoscience     - 4 supervisors Biology            - 6 supervisors Chemistry        - 6 supervisors You can send your list to - or If you have any further questions – please contact  Pia Harryson (pia.harryson at dbb.su.se  ) or Jens Danilesson (jens.danielsson at dbb.su.se  ) Have a nice weekend!

Join us on Friday the 17th of March at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and interesting talks about quantum systems and large deviation theory. Nicolas Boulle & David Stuhrmann Quantum Systems and Large Deviation Theory Nicolas Boulle - Quantum systems What is a quantum system? It is not always obvious to define the notion of a system because it depends on what we take into account to be part of it. A quantum system is at least made of a state, a Hamiltonian with a given basis and a Hilbert space. The Hilbert space can be made of a lot of subspaces that one can « glue » together to get a total space for the whole system: this is the Hilbert space factorization. I am going to talk about how the Hilbert state can be factorized and why it is important to choose a good factorization depending on how you want your system to look like. David Stuhrmann - Introduction to Large Deviation Theory What happens when you sum random variables? If you are interested in a very unlikely outcome, the so-called rare event, it is important to know the shape of the resulting probability distribution. Large Deviation Theory is a good framework because it looks at probabilities in a logarithmic scale. I will motivate this idea with an example of repeated coin flips. In the end, I show the connection to statistical physics and explain how entropy appears from Large Deviation Theory. Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Mega room (in-person only).

Ahmed Abouelkomsan Beyond Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a core concept with applications widely span multiple fields such as high energy physics, cosmology and condensed matter physics. The idea is heavily implemented in the remarkable Landau-Ginzburg paradigm used to classify numerous phases of matter and their phase transitions according to the symmetries they represent/break. In this informal talk, I will introduce briefly such a paradigm and discuss a number of physical systems that depart from it.

Join us on Friday the 31st of March at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Nikhil Sarin about gravitational waves. Nikhil Sarin What can we learn from compact object mergers? Gravitational-wave detectors now give us the ability to “hear” the last few orbits as two neutron stars (or black holes) merge. The music produced by these last few orbits hides a plethora of insight, such as how these binaries are formed and the lives and afterlives of massive stars. Similarly, for many mergers we can also “see” the aftermath across the electromagnetic spectrum. In this talk, I will discuss what we can learn from the observations of these compact object mergers individually in gravitational waves and in electromagnetic radiation, together, for events where we have observations with both, and holistically, as a population worth greater than the sum of its parts.

The workshop aims to challenge some of the drawbacks of the typical academic environment, create a deep sense of cooperation, and promote research in an open-minded and non-dogmatic way. The focus will be on in-team research, where participants from different backgrounds (physicists, philosophers, and mathematicians) will analyze selected papers on the foundations of quantum physics proposed by the applicants. This structure will lay the groundwork for original research through collaborations established during the workshop. Participants will be able to cultivate community values through shared social and physical activities. This year, we will experiment with a new model where interested participants must apply in pairs. Thus, the three papers that you will suggest during the application process must be in accordance with another potential participant. Approved applications will result in the direct invitation of both applicants. Submit your application no later than March 31th, 2023. Follow the instructions at https://kefalonia-foundations.iqoqi.oeaw.ac.at/register/ General further details can be found at https://kefalonia-foundations.iqoqi.oeaw.ac.at/ Papers proposed in the last edition (which will not be considered again) can be found at: https://kefalonia-foundations.iqoqi.oeaw.ac.at/participants-kefalonia-2022/ Please feel free to share this invitation among possibly interested colleagues.

URL: From studierektorfu at fysik.su.se Thu Mar 30 16:02:11 2023 From: studierektorfu at fysik.su.se (Michael Odelius) Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2023 16:02:11 +0200 Subject: [Drand] 2nd COVID recovery program - deadline 30 April Message-ID: <58fb1c91-a89b-0cbf-8ac8-9e0d9340ef41@fysik.su.se> Dear colleagues, In June 2021, the Department announced a Covid-19 recovery programme for students holding a PhD-student position (doktorandtjänst) at the department during the full period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. The purpose was to somewhat mitigate effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on their postgraduate studies. It was also motivated by the reduced scientific output at the Department caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. A good fraction of these losses can be traced to research activities normally performed by PhD students that have not been possible to sustain with the normal efficiency. Since also many PhD students, not being eligible for the first Covid-19 recovery programme, have been effected by the Covid-19 pandemic in their postgraduate studies, the Department now launches a second Covid-19 recovery programme in the same format as first programme, in which the Department offers short one-month research assistant projects. * **Eligible to participate in the second Covid-19 recovery programme are PhD students active in research at the department holding a** **PhD-student position (doktorandtjänst) at the department for at least twelve months during the period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2022,** **and who did not benefit from the first Covid-19 recovery programme.* Participants in the programme will be funded for one month full-time equivalent. During this time the participants are tasked with contributing extra manpower to one of the research-programmes deemed to have suffered from the adverse effects mentioned above (Typically working on their own projects). For each specific research-programme a work-plan should be formulated by the programme responsible, normally the supervisor of the student, and the student. A template is appended. Applications to participate in the programme, supported by the students supervisor, should be made on the form provided and submitted to the director of studies no later than 30 April. Launching this programme in the current economically difficult situation will put a further strain on our resources, which requires the Department and the externally funded projects to share responsibility for this programme. Primary source of funding should be the same as for the PhD position held by the student. We strongly encourage research projects with external funds to contribute, if possible, to the programme also in cases where the students PhD position is funded by the department. This is well motivated not only by the economic situation, but also since the research projects will benefit directly from the programme. In exceptional cases the department can contribute funding also for projects where the student holds a position funded by external sources, this after consultation with me. Best regards, Michael Odelius (in consultation with Sten Hellman and Jan Conrad).

Dear Juniors, It is my pleasure to announce this week's Scientific Fika. Join us on Friday the 31st of March at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Nikhil Sarin about gravitational waves. Nikhil Sarin What can we learn from compact object mergers? Gravitational-wave detectors now give us the ability to “hear” the last few orbits as two neutron stars (or black holes) merge. The music produced by these last few orbits hides a plethora of insight, such as how these binaries are formed and the lives and afterlives of massive stars. Similarly, for many mergers we can also “see” the aftermath across the electromagnetic spectrum. In this talk, I will discuss what we can learn from the observations of these compact object mergers individually in gravitational waves and in electromagnetic radiation, together, for events where we have observations with both, and holistically, as a population worth greater than the sum of its parts. Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Mega room (in-person only). Address: AlbaNova University Center, Hannes Alfvéns väg 12 We're looking forward to seeing you!

We want to encourage you to apply if you need one month of extension due to the negative effects of COVID. Therefore, we want to clarify some things: - The application for the program is very short and should not take too long to fill out. - The "research project" you will be assisting/working on is YOUR OWN reasearch (unless you want to do something else), so in practice this program is ONE MONTH of extension for your PhD. - If you did not apply the first time you can apply now (if you are eligible). - DEADLINE for the application is April 30th.

The current list is available here. Next week we will have Guilherme Franzmann (Nordita) give a colloquium titled: "The last Copernican Revolution: "Spacetime of the Gaps"*, more details below! It will be on Tuesday April 11 in FA32 (across from the restaurant) starting at 13:15. Fika to follow at 14:00 behind the restaurant. We hope to see you there. Title: The last Copernican Revolution: "Spacetime of the Gaps"* Abstract: Many centuries ago, Copernicus told us that we were not in the center of the Universe. Since then, many other Copernican steps moved us away from a central place in our understanding of the Universe. Nonetheless, it still has remained a place. In this colloquium, I will argue that, perhaps, the very last Copernican revolution will melt away any fundamental notion of space, and perhaps time. We will talk about the very deep philosophical and conceptual idea that spacetime is emergent while keeping the level as pedagogical as possible. We won't shy away from big conceptual leaps, but we will restrain ourselves from being excessively technical. By the end of this talk, I hope you will be as fascinated as I am about the current frontier in our understanding of quantum gravity and inspired by the real possibility that we may test the emergent nature of spacetime in the lab and in the sky. * A reference to the "God of the Gaps" theological perspective. Additionally, we welcome suggestions for colloquium speakers for the fall term. Please feel free to contact anyone below with ideas. We are looking for exciting speakers that can do a good job at summarizing their field and presenting it to the broader OKC audience. Please also include a sentence description about the potential speaker.

Popular philosophical answers in the past have focused on the application of a rigid scientific method, but there are various reasons why this approach is bound to fail.

Dear Juniors, It is my pleasure to announce this week's Scientific Fika. Join us on Friday the 21st of April at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Marion & Natalia about quantum computing. Marion Mallweger & Natalia Kuk Trapped Rydberg ions and why are they so highly exciting? One of the easiest ways to get funding is betting on quantum computers. But what does that actually mean and when will they be ready? In our talk, we will present trapped ions as a quantum computing platform with a slight twist. Inspired by Rydberg, we excite our ions more than usual which gives us interesting features to play with. We will present the basic concepts of trapped Rydberg ion physics and ongoing projects in the group. Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Mega room (in-person only). Address: AlbaNova University Center, Hannes Alfvéns väg 12 We're looking forward to seeing you! Nadia, Guilherme and Nikki -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

After the many recent discussions on Slack about ChatGPT, we're very happy to have Benjamin Bose visiting and talking about artificial intelligence! Join us on Friday the 28th of April at 16:00 for this interesting topic (and delicious Swedish pastries). Benjamin Bose An anecdotal account of applying AI (and how not to become my mother) It was recently said of/by artificial intelligence [AI], “ [it] flows like a boundless river, shaping and transforming the world with unrelenting vigor”. It is clear that AI and machine learning are powerful tools, but how powerful? To what extent are they only tools? But more, when will we stop having a say in their say in the world’s future or our interpretation of the world? This talk will be an account of my experience with learned machines, in and outside research. I’ll recount my introduction to the topic and my applications including to one of the biggest problems in physics. I will then broaden up and discuss wider applications and implications, to science, life and the future, particularly focusing on ChatGPT, with the hope of convincing you to get into the river before the torrent comes (and not become my (our?) parents!).

This week's speaker is Joe Roussos, a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Futures Studies, who works on decision theory, social epistemology, and philosophy of science. Join us on Friday the 28th of April at 16:00 in the Nordita lunch area for his talk about expert disagreement in research and policymaking. Joe Roussos Expert disagreement in advising and research Scientists played a crucial role in the pandemic. We were told to “listen to scientists” and “follow the science”. Politicians and policymakers consulted with expert advisors and claimed to simply be doing what the science supported. The problem is: experts often disagree. In Sweden this was particularly clear, since our pandemic policies were so different to our European neighbours. Expert disagreement raises a difficult question: how can we follow the science, if scientists disagree? These disagreements are natural: the pandemic was new and the science was evolving rapidly. But it also made things difficult for both the public and policymakers. In this talk, I explore the question of how experts should respond to these disagreements. I postulate a difference in how this response should go in the case of disagreements in the world of research, and disagreements when advising policymaking during a crisis.

Pawan Kumar Introduction to Fast Radio Bursts Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are transient events with millisecond durations that were discovered in pulsar surveys at GHz radio frequencies in 2007. In December 2016, it was established that these bursts are located at a distance of several billion light-years, and therefore the energy released in the radio band during these events is larger than that of any other astronomical event we know of (in the radio band). In this introductory lecture, I will describe some basic results of electromagnetic wave propagation through magnetized plasma and explain widely used terms such as dispersion measure (DM), rotation measure (RM), scintillation of radio waves, pulse broadening, and induced Compton scattering. Using general arguments, I will demonstrate that the radio emission is coherent and that the magnetic field strength associated with the source of these events should be greater than about 10^{14} Gauss or more. I will also discuss how FRBs are potentially powerful probes of the composition (baryonic component), structure, and evolution of the universe. Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Mega Room (in-person only).

This week's speaker is Joe Roussos, a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Futures Studies, who works on decision theory, social epistemology, and philosophy of science. Join us on Friday the 28th of April at 16:00 in the Nordita lunch area for his talk about expert disagreement in research and policymaking. Joe Roussos Expert disagreement in advising and research Scientists played a crucial role in the pandemic. We were told to “listen to scientists” and “follow the science”. Politicians and policymakers consulted with expert advisors and claimed to simply be doing what the science supported. The problem is: experts often disagree. In Sweden this was particularly clear, since our pandemic policies were so different to our European neighbours. Expert disagreement raises a difficult question: how can we follow the science, if scientists disagree? These disagreements are natural: the pandemic was new and the science was evolving rapidly. But it also made things difficult for both the public and policymakers. In this talk, I explore the question of how experts should respond to these disagreements. I postulate a difference in how this response should go in the case of disagreements in the world of research, and disagreements when advising policymaking during a crisis. Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Lunch area (in-person only). Address: AlbaNova University Center, Hannes Alfvéns väg 12 We're looking forward to seeing you!

Join us on Friday the 12th of May at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Michael Korsmeier about cosmic rays and dark matter. Michael Korsmeier Why we are looking for Antimatter to learn more about Dark Matter Cosmic rays are highly energetic particles that originate from astrophysical sources such as pulsars or supernovae. As they travel through space, they interact in various processes, such as magnetic fields and gas, which can cause them to produce antimatter. In addition to their astrophysical origins, cosmic rays can provide important clues about the nature of dark matter in our galaxy. If dark matter particles annihilate or decay, they can produce antimatter particles that would be detectable in cosmic-ray data. By studying these cosmic-ray signatures, we can learn more about the properties of dark matter and its role in the universe. During my talk, I will provide a personal introduction to cosmic rays and dark matter, and showcase a few examples of how and where to search for the unique signatures of dark matter. I will also explain how we can use antiprotons and antideuteron to constrain the annihilation cross-section of dark matter in our galaxy. Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Lunch area (in-person only).

Join us on Friday the 26th of May at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Sinan Deger about game theory. Sinan Deger A Stroll Through Game Theory Decision making ranges in difficulty from the neighborhood of the arguably trivial to the province of the obnoxiously complicated. Of potential good news, those of us afflicted by its hardships may find solace that a mathematical framework can offer some aid: game theory. In this context, a game is defined as a mathematical modeling of strategic interactions and the decision-making these involve between a group of "players." Game theory, very broadly, studies such interactions and provides a formalism to define optimal strategy based on a set of outcomes. Game theory has in turn affected and at times significantly influenced several areas such as economics, computer science, psychology and more. Although its abstract is a picture of formality, the talk itself will feature an informal overview of some key concepts in game theory, such as non-cooperative games and Nash equilibria, together with their historical development.

Last time I gave this course was in 2018 the format was a ‘peer study course’, which means that I gave reading instructions on a regular basis, together with obligatory exercise sheets. I am planning to use the same format this year, so no lectures. This means that you can study in your own pace. Nevertheless, I hope that all participants come together on a regular basis to discuss the material. I will be available to clarify issues that arise. If you want more information, you can have a look at the 2018 website: https://staff.fysik.su.se/~ardonne/cft-course-2018.html If you are interested in this course, please send me an email (please do not ‘reply to all’).

Dear Juniors, It is my pleasure to announce the start of a new series of Scientific Fika! Join us on Friday the 8th of September at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Milena Crnogorčević about modified gravity and dark matter. We are still looking for talks for future events! Sign up here: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/er9pkyWd Milena Crnogorčević Is it really, once and for all, la fin du MOND? In this presentation, we will discuss the parallel development of two intriguing and contrasting theories: Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and Dark Matter (DM). We will cover the specifics of MOND’s departure from classical Newtonian physics and explore its roots, pivotal moments, and its most popular extensions. Then, we will talk about the properties of DM and the various pieces of evidence that propel the DM concept to the forefront of modern cosmology. Through my (un?)biased presentation, my goal is to bring forward a conversation about the MONDian theories and whether and how they fare in comparison to the more widely accepted cosmological standard model. Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Mega room (in-person only). Address: AlbaNova University Center, Hannes Alfvéns väg 12 We're looking forward to seeing you!

Dear Juniors, It is my pleasure to announce the start of a new series of Scientific Fika! Join us on Friday the 8th of September at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Milena Crnogorčević about modified gravity and dark matter. We are still looking for talks for future events! Sign up here: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/er9pkyWd Milena Crnogorčević Is it really, once and for all, la fin du MOND? In this presentation, we will discuss the parallel development of two intriguing and contrasting theories: Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and Dark Matter (DM). We will cover the specifics of MOND’s departure from classical Newtonian physics and explore its roots, pivotal moments, and its most popular extensions. Then, we will talk about the properties of DM and the various pieces of evidence that propel the DM concept to the forefront of modern cosmology. Through my (un?)biased presentation, my goal is to bring forward a conversation about the MONDian theories and whether and how they fare in comparison to the more widely accepted cosmological standard model.

Have you ever wondered what it means when we say that a vacuum is actually filled with "virtual" particles popping in and out of existence?

Join us on Friday the 6th of October at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Ludvig Doeser about Fysikshow! Ludvig Doeser/Fysikshow team Fysikshow - what we do and our favourite experiments FysikShow is a collaborative outreach project from Stockholm University with the aim of raising interest in natural science and research. FysikShow, consisting of a team of 8 PhD students, comes to schools and participates in various science events. We think it is both important and fun to use experiments to understand physics. Therefore, we show experiments to students and work interactively with explanations of the physical background. The school’s slightly more formal physics language is thus brought closer to everyday life and the students’ own experiences. We believe this is important for the students’ curiosity and to show them joy in understanding their own surroundings. This Friday we will tell you more about FysikShow and show you some of our favourite experiments! Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Fika area (in-person only).

Join us on Friday the 6th of October at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Ludvig Doeser about Fysikshow! Ludvig Doeser/Fysikshow team Fysikshow - what we do and our favourite experiments FysikShow is a collaborative outreach project from Stockholm University with the aim of raising interest in natural science and research. FysikShow, consisting of a team of 8 PhD students, comes to schools and participates in various science events. We think it is both important and fun to use experiments to understand physics. Therefore, we show experiments to students and work interactively with explanations of the physical background. The school’s slightly more formal physics language is thus brought closer to everyday life and the students’ own experiences. We believe this is important for the students’ curiosity and to show them joy in understanding their own surroundings. This Friday we will tell you more about FysikShow and show you some of our favourite experiments! Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Fika area (in-person only). Address: AlbaNova University Center, Hannes Alfvéns väg 12 We're looking forward to seeing you! Nadia, Guilherme and Nikki -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But their detection has so far been considered impossible. Here we show that signatures of single gravitons can be observed in laboratory experiments. We show that stimulated and spontaneous single-graviton processes can become relevant for massive quantum acoustic resonators and that stimulated absorption can be resolved through continuous sensing of quantum jumps. We analyze the feasibility of observing the exchange of single energy quanta between matter and gravitational waves. Our results show that single graviton signatures are within reach of experiments. In analogy to the discovery of the photo-electric effect for photons, such signatures can provide the first experimental evidence of the quantization of gravity.

Join us on Friday the 20th of October at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Juri Smirnov about machine learning for chemistry. This week's event will be open to everyone! Juri Smirnov Teaching Machines Chemistry Do language and chemistry have something in common? As it turns out they do, and machines are excellent at picking up the semantics out of the strings encoding molecular structures. Those strings resemble sentences which follow particular grammatical construction rules. We capitalise on the enormous progress in artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on generative models. Our goal is to teach a machine chemical features of molecules and use its ability to generate new structures to find new molecules for our applications. As a concrete example, I will present a search for optimal crystalline molecules for light dark matter detection, as well as our exploratory search for bioactive molecules that we conduct with our industry partners.

Join us on Friday the 20th of October at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Juri Smirnov about machine learning for chemistry. This week's event will be open to everyone! Juri Smirnov Teaching Machines Chemistry Do language and chemistry have something in common? As it turns out they do, and machines are excellent at picking up the semantics out of the strings encoding molecular structures. Those strings resemble sentences which follow particular grammatical construction rules. We capitalise on the enormous progress in artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on generative models. Our goal is to teach a machine chemical features of molecules and use its ability to generate new structures to find new molecules for our applications. As a concrete example, I will present a search for optimal crystalline molecules for light dark matter detection, as well as our exploratory search for bioactive molecules that we conduct with our industry partners.

Alex Brown Einstein was (probably) wrong: looking beyond general relativity The theory of gravity is one of the most important theories in modern physics. It governs everything from the oceans' tides to the large scale structure of our universe. Since 1915, when Einstein revolutionised our understanding of gravity, we have used his theory of general relativity to underpin mountains of research. But what if Einstein wasn’t right? What if general relativity is wrong? How would we know, and what would we do?This talk is a brief introduction to gravity theories beyond general relativity. I will discuss the extremely successful theory of general relativity as well as its alternatives: what they are, why we have them, and how we can test them. Jacob Osman Hjortlund Spooky Systematics and Known Unknowns: The Cosmological Impact of SNe Ia Progenitors Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have played a significant role in measuring the acceleration of the Universe's expansion and the existence of dark energy. This is all made possible by the relatively uniform brightness of SNe Ia explosions, making it possible to use them as measures of cosmological distances. Although these events are instrumental in constraining cosmological parameters, we surprisingly enough have very little knowledge about the progenitor systems that lead to these explosions. Examples of such systems are star–white dwarf binaries and white dwarf–white dwarf binaries, the rates of which change over cosmological time. Can we be sure that such progenitor systems lead to exactly the same SNe Ia explosions? This known unknown may lead to systematic biases, impacting both current and future large-scale surveys aiming for percent-level precision constraints. In this talk, I will introduce you to the field of SNe Ia cosmology, including the current state-of-the-art results, issues and our proposed solution. I will present a novel two-population model of SNe Ia, that links cosmological measurements together with current work on SNe Ia progenitor systems. Using both simulations and the latest observations, we will explore what impact such unknown progenitor systems may have on cosmological constraints.

Join us on Friday the 3rd of November at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Tasis Kapodistrias about visual representations of Astronomy. Tasis Kapodistrias >From The Beatles to the CMB: Making the Invisible Visible in Astronomy Representations Astronomy is in many ways unique among the sciences due to its largely observational nature. Astronomical data are collected inside and outside of the visual spectrum, and an astronomer’s job then becomes one of producing meaningful representations to represent the new knowledge that can be extracted from this data. In this presentation, we will look at Astronomy under this scope: social semiotics, which stands for the study of signs and how they are created and reproduced within particular social groups for meaning-making purposes. For the purposes of this talk, we will treat Astronomy representations (diagrams, images, equations) as objects placed in the space between people in order to achieve communication. Using this approach in Astronomy Education Research, we manage to uncover crucial disciplinary aspects of these representations and understand how to use them more effectively in Astronomy Teaching & Learning. Furthermore, we will look at some examples of how we apply this approach to specific astronomy representations: we will demonstrate how we can use this framework to better understand the particularities of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and what makes it difficult for students to interpret, we will look at how we use mathematics in astronomy for meaning making purposes and lastly, we will use the map of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation to uncover some aspects that Astronomy experts see in representations, without them being directly visible. This is a crucial part of the nature of expertise in any scientific discipline, and a fundamental goal for Astronomy teaching & learning: the question of how to introduce a newcomer (a student) to Astronomy becomes a question of how to make them see what an expert sees in Astronomy representations.

Florian Niedermann Tales of empty space: The quest for the origin of dark energy The nature of dark energy is one of the great mysteries of our Universe. Unlike with dark matter, we run into problems when we use conventional particle physics intuition to reveal the microphysics of dark energy. In my talk, I will highlight two a priori unrelated aspects of dark energy model building: First, dark energy models are often very sensitive to unknown high-energy physics. This goes under the name of the cosmological constant problem and has plagued theorists for the better part of a century. Second, a recently proclaimed discrepancy in the predicted value of the expansion rate of the Universe today seems to indicate the presence of a new phase of dark energy in the early Universe. I will argue that both observations can serve as a guiding principle in our efforts to understand the fundamental nature of dark energy. In keeping with the informal character of the Scientific Fika I will also use the opportunity to take a personal look back on my path as an early career scientist.

The 2023 Oskar Klein Memorial Lecture will be given by Alessandra Buonanno with the title Gravitational-Wave Astronomy: Theoretical Advances and Challenges The lecture will take place on Thursday 23 November at 15.15 in the Oskar Klein Auditorium, AlbaNova. Abstract: Since the first detection of gravitational waves from a binary black-hole merger in 2015, the LIGO and Virgo detectors have observed nearly 100 gravitational-wave signals from mergers of black holes, neutron stars and their mixture. These observations rely on precise theoretical predictions of the relativistic two-body dynamics and gravitational radiation. After reviewing the synergistic approach that successfully combines analytical and numerical relativity to produce accurate waveform models, I will discuss the astrophysical and fundamental physics properties that those models have allowed us to extract from gravitational-wave observations, and highlight the theoretical challenges that lie ahead to fully exploit the discovery potential of increasingly sensitive detectors on the ground, such as Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope, and in space, such as LISA. The lecture is sponsored by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences through its Nobel Institute for Physics, and by Stockholm University.

At ambient pressure water locally fluctuates between these two states, with the fluctuations becoming more pronounced as the liquid is supercooled. In this thesis, we explore the role of molecular heterogeneity in the structural dynamics of aqueous solutions, specifically investigating the interplay of different solutes in water with the hypothesized HDL-LDL fluctuations. In our experimental approach, we utilize coherent light and X-ray scattering techniques, including small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS, WAXS), as well as correlation methods, such as dynamic light scattering (DLS) and X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS), that enable us to probe structural dynamics at a broad range of length and time scales. Using DLS, we measure the diffusive dynamic behaviour of differently sized nanomolecular probes in supercooled water, finding that it is effectively similar and independent of probe size down to molecular scales of ≈1 nm. In contrast to single water molecules, these probes experience a similar dynamic environment, which coincides with the bulk viscosity. These results could suggest that anomalous influence from the hypothesized water fluctuations becomes apparent first on sub-nm length scales. Furthermore, we explore how the presence of small polar-organic solutes modulates the water phase diagram, utilizing glycerol-water solutions as a model system. By outrunning freezing with the rapid evaporative cooling technique, combined with ultrafast X-ray scattering at X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs), we are able to probe the liquid structure in deeply supercooled dilute glycerol-water solutions. Our findings indicate the existence of HDL- and LDL-like fluctuations upon supercooling, with a Widom line shifted to slightly lower temperatures compared to pure water. Further experiments on deeply supercooled glycerol-water solutions at intermediate glycerol concentrations, combining WAXS and SAXS/XPCS, provide additional insights. These results reveal a first-order-like liquid-liquid transition involving discontinuous changes in the inter-atomic liquid structure and nanoscale liquid dynamics, which precedes ice crystallization. Lastly, with the aim of developing powerful tools for resolving dynamics within spatially heterogeneous systems, including aqueous solutions, we combine the spatial resolution of nanofocused coherent X-ray beams with dynamic measurements by XPCS. Here, we successfully demonstrate a first proof-of-concept experiment of so-called nanofocused XPCS at MAX IV synchrotron radiation facility. In future experiments, we plan to go beyond standard XPCS at synchrotrons, towards accessing ultrafast atomic-scale liquid dynamics by X-ray speckle visibility spectroscopy (XSVS) at XFELs. Keywords: Water, Aqueous solutions, X-ray scattering, X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy, Dynamic light scattering. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, for courses at PhD level this leads to difficulties with preserving anonymity, since often the number of students is low. To solve this, the committee for postgraduate education has suggested that one or multiple PhD students could take up this task. Similar to teaching, these student(s) will be compensated with an extension of their PhD position corresponding to the time spent on the task (note that this means that students on certain external contracts which are not possible to extend are not eligible). For courses with four or more students, the work entails sending out evaluation forms promptly after a course finishes, collecting the replies and summarizing them in a document. For courses with less than four students the evaluator should discuss the course with the students, preferably in a meeting where all students that participated in the course are present. The conclusions should be summarized in a document. In both cases this document is then passed on to the subject responsible. If you are interested in contributing to the course quality at Fysikum or have any questions regarding this position, please contact me or Sten Hellman (sten at fysik.su.se). Since this will be the first time using this new evaluating system, details about the work and amount of time can be discussed.

(no alcohol) At the meeting we will elect and nominate representatives to faculty level positions. So if you are interested about the organizational structure of SU and the Natural Sciences department or want to make your voice heard, nominate yourself for one or more of the committees! Of course, the meeting is is also a great opportunity to bring any issues or questions you have to the PhD council. The time you spent on any committee will be compensated with an extension of your PhD contract. At the meeting we elect a representative and a secondary for the Science Faculty Council (Naturvetenskapliga fakultetsrådet, NFR), as well a new chair and vice-chair for the NFR. The PhD council also nominates for a number of positions at faculty and section level. The election is then done at the NFR meeting on a later date. For both the positions at the faculty level and at the section level it is important to notice that the candidates do not only represent the PhD students at Fysikum, and hence any elected candidate will be expected to report to all relevant councils. Information about NFR and the boards for which we nominate representatives can be found at https://www.sus.se/fakultetsraden/nfr The preliminary agenda for the meeting is attached, as well as last meetings minutes, a list of the positions for elections and nominations, and a list of NFR representatives with more information on each position. Please let me know if you want to add anything to the agenda. *You can nominate yourself or someone else for a position at the meeting.* If you cannot join this meeting, but you want to**nominate yourself of someone else to a position, or if you want to continue your current position, please send me an email at ellen.riefel at fysik.su.se before December 7th. You can also send an email if you want to add something to the agenda. The meeting is coorganized with SUS. Hope to see you there!

The 2023 Oskar Klein Memorial Lecture will be given by Alessandra Buonanno with the title Gravitational-Wave Astronomy: Theoretical Advances and Challenges The lecture will take place on Thursday 23 November at 15.15 in the Oskar Klein Auditorium, AlbaNova. Abstract: Since the first detection of gravitational waves from a binary black-hole merger in 2015, the LIGO and Virgo detectors have observed nearly 100 gravitational-wave signals from mergers of black holes, neutron stars and their mixture. These observations rely on precise theoretical predictions of the relativistic two-body dynamics and gravitational radiation. After reviewing the synergistic approach that successfully combines analytical and numerical relativity to produce accurate waveform models, I will discuss the astrophysical and fundamental physics properties that those models have allowed us to extract from gravitational-wave observations, and highlight the theoretical challenges that lie ahead to fully exploit the discovery potential of increasingly sensitive detectors on the ground, such as Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope, and in space, such as LISA. The lecture is sponsored by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences through its Nobel Institute for Physics, and by Stockholm University.

AD research is split into three main branches: analysis of the molecular mechanism behind AD, developing new drugs, and searching for new biomarkers. We'll explore why grasping the inner workings of AD is crucial for knowing what new drugs must target. And once we have an available treatment, it’s important to screen the population in the most effective and inexpensive way. I’ll also discuss results from my master’s thesis in which I investigate how cell's organelles change their organization between mice with and without AD.

Sign up here: https://forms.gle/wM6k22asgLjRrXhX7 Yuefei Liu Functional or (almost) excellent candidate of hybrid quantum platforms: quantum magnonics In this scientific fika, we delve into the field of quantum magnonics, a cutting-edge direction poised to explore the hybrid quantum information platforms based on magnons, quantum of spin waves. I will explain concepts like magnons and discuss their properties. We will explore recent achievements and their potential to develop the magnonic platform, such as their robustness, tunability and lower power consumption, along with the rich physics underpinning them. A full-fledged quantum era may still be distant for most of our daily life, except of researchers/physicists :), but there are quite a few intriguing facts to appreciate about how quantum magnonics is shaping the challenges of future quantum applications. Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Fika area (in-person only). Address: AlbaNova University Center, Hannes Alfvéns väg 12 We're looking forward to seeing you!

The question whether the universe is a black hole has been raised by various researchers, motivated in part by the fact that the Schwarzschild radius associated with the matter content of the universe is roughly equal to the radius of the observable universe. In this talk, I will review the arguments for and against the claim that the universe is a black hole. I will also discuss the arguments for the claim that black holes can spawn baby universes.

Jag vill passa på och tacka lärare, assistenter och studieadmin för det gångna året. Det är härligt att se hur ni alla med entusiasm tar er an våra studenter både i och utanför våra kurser. Vi har under hösten introducerat en ny masterkurs, Strömningsmekanik och mjuk materia och i vår kommer ytterligare två nya kurser i vårt utbud, Datalogins fysik och Utveckling av laborationer för fysiklärare. Det ska bli spännande att se hur dessa kurser får en plats på Fysikum. Som vi alltid brukar påminna i dessa tider är det viktigt att attestera alla examinationer med datum 2023 innan 9 januari i Ladok. Detta gäller även självständiga arbeten. Om vi missa det går vi miste om pengar från fakulteten. God Jul och Gott nytt år! Fredrik Hello! I would like to take the opportunity to thank the teachers, assistants and study admin for the past year. It is wonderful to see how you all enthusiastically take on our students both in and outside of our courses. During the autumn, we introduced a new master's course, Flow Mechanics and Soft Matter, and this spring two more new courses will be added to our selection of courses, Physics of information and computation and Laboratory exercise development for physics teachers. It will be exciting to see how these courses get a place at Fysikum. As we always remind in these times, it is important to certify all examinations with a date of 2023 before 9th of January in Ladok. This also applies to project courses. If we miss it, we miss out on money from the faculty. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Fredrik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
