SUMMARY:Quantum Entanglement\, Strange Metals and Black Holes
DESCRIPTION:Einstein apparently called it “spooky action at a distance.” Entanglement is a counterintuitive feature of quantum theory by which two particles can be correlated even when separated by vast distances\, such that a measurement of one particle instantaneously determines the state of another. Remarkably\, quantum entanglement can also happen en masse and determines observable properties of macroscopic objects. \nIn this lecture\, Subir Sachdev will present a simple model of many-particle entanglement\, which has led to new insights into two very different classes of systems. First\, we have crystals of materials containing layered arrangements of copper and oxygen atoms. At low temperatures these materials exhibit superconductivity\, the ability to conduct electricity without resistance. But at higher temperatures they exhibit a “strange metal\,” which conducts electricity and heat in a novel manner linked to the collective quantum entanglement of the electrons. Second\, we have black holes\, astrophysical objects so dense that even light cannot escape past a horizon. Hawking argued that quantum entanglement can be present across the horizon\, and this leads to radiation from the black hole. Remarkably\, the simple model of entanglement leads to a common description of the physical properties of both classes of systems. \nSachdev was educated at the Indian Institute of Technology\, Delhi\, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. He is now the Herchel Smith Professor of Physics at Harvard University. He also holds visiting positions as the Cenovus Energy James Clerk Maxwell Chair in Theoretical Physics at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics\, and the Dr. Homi J. Bhabha Chair Professorship at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. He is a member of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences\, fellow of the American Physical Society and has been awarded several honors\, among them the Dirac Medal (UNSW) in 2015.

SUMMARY:Exploiting Genetics to Identify Environmental Risks for Autism
DESCRIPTION:Our inability to identify environmental threats to the brain early — before they cause disease — represents one of the major challenges of our time. This challenge is particularly relevant to autism\, which affects 1 in 68 individuals. Heritability studies indicate that environmental factors contribute to autism risk. \nIn this lecture\, Mark Zylka will describe how candidate environmental risk factors for autism can be identified rationally\, by pinpointing chemicals that interfere with the same molecular pathways that are affected in individuals with autism. His research focuses on identifying environmental-use chemicals that target autism-linked molecular pathways\, using environmental sampling data to assess the exposure threat to people\, and validating risk potential in animal models. \nMark Zylka received his B.S. in biochemistry from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University\, and his Ph.D. in neurobiology from Harvard University. While at Harvard\, he identified several of the core circadian-clock genes and determined how these genes contribute to circadian rhythms in mammals. As a postdoctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology\, he identified a large family of receptors that regulate pain and itch. Zylka’s lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill focuses on pain research and studying genetic and environmental risks for autism.

SUMMARY:Atomic Clocks and Quantum Physics
DESCRIPTION:The relentless pursuit of spectroscopy resolution has been a key driving force for many scientific and technological breakthroughs over the past century\, including the invention of laser and the creation of ultracold matter. The new capability in control of coherent light has enabled us to create and probe novel quantum matter via manipulation of dilute atomic gases at ultralow temperatures\, revolutionizing a new generation of atomic clocks that have accuracy at the 18th digit. Such advanced clocks have allowed us to probe the microscopic world of quantum many-body physics\, and will be used to test fundamental laws of nature\, search for new physics and in applications to a range of technology development. \nJun Ye is a fellow at JILA\, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado\, Boulder. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and is a fellow at NIST\, the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America. His research focuses on the frontier of light-matter interactions and includes precision measurement\, quantum physics and ultracold matter\, optical frequency metrology and ultrafast science. He has co-authored more than 300 scientific papers and has delivered 500 invited talks. Awards and honors include the U.S. Presidential Rank (Distinguished) Award\, three Gold Medals from the U.S. Commerce Department\, a Frew Fellowship from the Australian Academy of Science\, the I.I. Rabi Prize from the American Physical Society\, the European Frequency and Time Forum Award\, the Carl Zeiss Research Award\, the William F. Meggers Award and the Adolph Lomb Medal from the Optical Society of America\, the Arthur S. Flemming Award\, the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers\, the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the Samuel Wesley Stratton Award from NIST.

SUMMARY:Programming Cell Signaling Networks
DESCRIPTION:The design principles of cell signaling circuits allow cells to sense their environment\, to process this information and to make complex response decisions. Wendell Lim and his collaborators are using synthetic biology approaches to systematically build cell networks to understand their design logic. They are harnessing this understanding to program cells with customized sensing-actuator functions — one example is smart therapeutic immune cells that can recognize and treat complex diseases\, such as cancer inflammation and degeneration. \nIn this lecture\, Lim will discuss the design principles of molecular circuits that govern cell decision-making and responses. He will also describe how these principles can be harnessed to engineer cells with customized therapeutic response programs. \nLim is a professor in and chair of the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of California\, San Francisco and an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He received his A.B. in Chemistry\, summa cum laude\, from Harvard College and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Biophysics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He completed his postdoctoral training at Yale University. His lab has made contributions in understanding the molecular machinery of cell signaling and how molecular modules have been used in evolution to build novel new behaviors. Most recently he has been a pioneer in the field of synthetic biology\, exploring how cellular design principles can be harnessed to engineer cells with customized therapeutic response programs.

SUMMARY:Strange New Worlds
DESCRIPTION:For centuries people have wondered whether there are planets orbiting distant stars. Astronomers started to discover such “exoplanets” in the 1990s and have identified thousands since then. Advances in technology have revealed bizarre new worlds unlike anything in our Solar System\, while also bringing us to the threshold of finding planets similar to Earth. \nIn this lecture\, Josh Winn will explain why it took so long to find exoplanets\, what new technologies were required\, and what kinds of planetary systems have been found. He will review our knowledge of the properties of their orbits\, and their host stars. Measurements of the orientation of the star’s rotation axis\, in particular\, have revealed numerous surprises and have been the subject of creative theorizing. He will also discuss opportunities to improve our understanding with data from an upcoming NASA mission\, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. \nWinn is an astronomer at Princeton University. His group uses optical telescopes to study exoplanetary systems\, especially those in which the star and planet eclipse one another. His recent work focuses on the architecture of planetary systems: the sizes\, shapes\, and orientations of the orbits\, and the stellar obliquity. He was a participating scientist in the NASA Kepler mission and is a co-investigator in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite\, scheduled for launch in late 2017.
