Hybrid superconductors-semiconductor heterostructures allow voltage control of carrier density in superconducting systems. We use these materials to investigate novel gate-controlled arrays of Josephson junctions in a variety of geometries, examining the interplay of quantum coherence, Coulomb interaction, and frustration. Using the example of the dice lattice, I will draw connections between protected quantum information and quantum phase transitions in two dimensions.

Abstract

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has observed hundreds of gravitational-wave sources to date, including mergers between black holes, neutron stars, and mixed neutron star--black holes. These neutron stars and black holes connect many astrophysical puzzles, including the lives and deaths of stars, star cluster dynamics, cosmic chemical enrichment, and the expansion history of the Universe. I will describe some recent astrophysical lessons from gravitational-wave discoveries.

When running molecular dynamics simulations, typically timesteps must be on the order of 2fs to preserve numerical stability. This sharply limits our ability to generate trajectories for processes such as protein folding that can take on the order of milliseconds. In this talk, we'll discuss training a neural net to predict the configuration of the protein many timesteps in the future (conditional on its current configuration) in order to save computation.
