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.

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.

SUMMARY:Virus Evolution and the Predictability of Next Year's Flu
DESCRIPTION:Our immune systems rapidly overcome many viral infections and protect us against repeated infections. However\, we are unable to clear HIV infections and suffer repeatedly from influenza. These viruses evade immune recognition by rapidly changing parts of their proteins. New viral variants emerge continuously and compete against each other in complicated stochastic dynamics. \nIn this lecture\, Richard Neher will present recent progress in our understanding of the evolutionary dynamics of organisms\, such as HIV and the influenza virus. His team sequenced the whole genome of thousands of HIV viruses from many samples from the same HIV-infected individual and developed mathematical models to describe virus evolution. These models were used to infer fitness of circulating influenza viruses\, which in turn allowed the team to predict properties of future influenza viruses. Since the seasonal influenza vaccine is only effective when the vaccine virus matches the circulating virus population\, such predictions of future influenza viruses can improve the vaccine. \nNeher studied physics at the universities of Göttingen and Munich. In 2007\, he joined the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California\, Santa Barbara and became an independent Max Planck Research Group Leader in Tübingen in 2010. He joined the faculty of the University of Basel in 2017. He was awarded an European Research Council starting grant (2010)\, the ARCHES prize (2012)\, and a Phase I OpenSciencePrize (2016).

SUMMARY:The Unpredicted: In Science\, Literature and Politics
DESCRIPTION:We are drawn to the new\, the unusual\, the unexpected: what we could not predict on the basis of what came before. As vast archives of our cultural past and present go online\, scientists can now break out of the laboratory to see how novelty\, innovation and creativity are both made and received in the real world. \nTo track these crucial forms of human experience\, Simon DeDeo will introduce simple but powerful concepts from information theory\, using examples from Jane Austen and Virginia Woolf. Through collaborative case studies ranging from the speeches of the French Revolution and papers in high-energy physics to the online arguments of ‘Wikipedians’ and Breitbart commenters\, he will show how these tools allow us to ask\, and answer\, two basic questions: Where do new ideas come from? And how do we respond when they arrive. \nSimon DeDeo is assistant professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, and external professor at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico. He runs the institute’s Laboratory for Social Minds\, whose collaborative work appears in journals ranging from Physical Review to Cognition and PLOS Computational Biology. \n

SUMMARY:New Directions in Approximation Algorithms (2017)
DESCRIPTION:April 23-29\, 2017\nNote: Attendance is by invitation only. \nOrganizers:\nSanjeev Arora\, Princeton University\nUriel Feige\, Weizmann Institute of Science\nMichele Goemans\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\nDavid Shmoys\, Cornell University \nPrevious years:\n\nNew Directions in Approximation Algorithms 2015\nNew Directions in Approximation Algorithms 2013\n\nThis is the third symposium organized by Sanjeev Arora (Princeton University)\, Uriel Feige (Weizmann Institute)\, Michel Goemans (MIT) and David Shmoys (Cornell University). The first\, in January 2013\, focused on core techniques and problems of this field. The second\, in February 2015\, highlighted how the notion of approximation has found uses in other areas\, including mechanism design\, combinatorial optimization\, online algorithms\, machine learning\, differential privacy and discrepancy theory. The upcoming meeting is expected to address the above themes\, as well as new themes such as proving hardness of approximation results under the exponential time hypothesis. \n\nAgenda\n\nDownload agenda PDF here. \n\n\n\nSunday\n\n\n\n7:30 -9:30 PM\nDinner at La Salle\n\n\nMonday\n\n\n\n8:30 – 10:00 AM\nBreakfast at La Salle\n\n\n10:00 – 11:00 AM\nProgram\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30 AM\nBreak\n\n\n11:30 – 1:00 PM\nProgram\n\n\n1:00 – 2:00 PM\nLunch at La Salle\n\n\n2:00 – 4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation*\n\n\n4:30 – 5:00 PM\nTea\n\n\n5:00 – 7:00 PM\nProgram\n\n\n7:30 – 9:30 PM\nDinner at La Salle\n\n\nTuesday\n\n\n\n8:30 – 10:00 AM\nBreakfast at La Salle\n\n\n10:00 – 11:00 AM\nProgram\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30 AM\nBreak\n\n\n11:30 – 1:00 PM\nProgram\n\n\n1:00 – 2:00 PM\nLunch at La Salle\n\n\n2:00 – 4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation*\n\n\n4:30 – 5:00 PM\nTea\n\n\n5:00 – 7:00 PM\nProgram\n\n\n7:30 – 9:30 PM\nDinner at Wintergarden\n\n\nWednesday\n\n\n\n7:30 – 9:30 AM\nBreakfast at La Salle\n\n\n9:45 – 2:00 PM\nGuided Hike to Partnach Gorge\n\n\n2:00 – 3:00 PM\nLunch at Wintergarden\n\n\n3:00 – 5:00 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation*\n\n\n5:00 – 5:30 PM\nTea\n\n\n5:30 – 7:30 PM\nProgram\n\n\n7:30 – 9:30 PM\nDinner at La Salle\n\n\nThursday\n\n\n\n8:00 – 9:30 AM\nBreakfast at La Salle\n\n\n9:30 – 10:30 AM\nProgram\n\n\n10:30 – 11:00 AM\nBreak\n\n\n11:00 – 12:30 PM\nProgram\n\n\n12:30 – 1:30 PM\nLunch at La Salle\n\n\n1:30 – 4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation*\n\n\n4:30 – 5:00 PM\nTea\n\n\n5:00 – 7:00 PM\nProgram\n\n\n7:30 – 9:30 PM\nDinner at La Salle\n\n\nFriday\n\n\n\n8:00 – 9:30 AM\nBreakfast at La Salle\n\n\n9:30 – 10:30 AM\nProgram\n\n\n10:30 – 11:00 AM\nBreak\n\n\n11:00 – 12:30 PM\nProgram\n\n\n12:30 – 1:30 PM\nLunch at La Salle\n\n\n1:30 – 4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation*\n\n\n4:30 – 5:00 PM\nTea\n\n\n5:00 – 7:00 PM\nProgram\n\n\n7:30 – 9:30 PM\nDinner at Kaminstüberl\n\n\nLocations\n\n\n\nSESSIONS\nPavillion located at the Schloss Elmau Retreat\n\n\nMEALS\nLa Salle unless otherwise noted\n\n\nTEA & DISCUSSION\nPavillion located at the Schloss Elmau Retreat\n\n\nEXCURSION\nMeet in Schloss Elmau Lobby\n\n\nSATURDAY DEPARTURE\nMeet in Schloss Elmau Lobby\n\n\n\n*Participants may explore the hotel property and its surrounding areas as well as engage in informal discussion with other participants. \nStart Time\nThe meeting will begin on Monday morning at 10:00 am in the Pavillon meeting room located at the Schloss Elmau Retreat.

SUMMARY:Quantum Entanglement (2017)
DESCRIPTION:April 30-May 6\, 2017\n\nNote: Attendance is by invitation only. \nOrganizers:\nShamit Kachru\, Stanford University\nHirosi Ooguri\, California Institute of Technology\nSubir Sachdev\, Harvard University \nPrevious years:\n\nQuantum Entanglement 2015\nQuantum Entanglement 2013\n\nOrganized by Shamit Kachru (Stanford University)\, Hirosi Ooguri (Caltech) and Subir Sachdev (Harvard University)\, this is the third symposium on this topic. \nSince the first symposium in 2013\, quantum entanglement has become even more important in a broad area of theoretical physics ranging from condensed matter physics and quantum information toquantum gravity and string theory. It does appear that the symposia anticipated this impact\, and played a role in developing some of the connections between different branches of theoretical physics. Quantum entanglement and its relation toquantum error correction is playing a key role in our understanding of bulk reconstruction in holography.  The connections between black holes\, fast scrambling\, and quantum chaos are other subjects we plan to discuss at the symposium. In particular\, the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model has been found to be maximally chaotic and seems to provide a solvable model of holography in which the boundary quantum theory is tractable in a regime which captures the subtle correlations in Hawking radiation. In condensed matter physics\, entanglement acts as one of the few `tags’ for topologically ordered states\, novel phases of matter not characterized by conventional order parameters. This has been particularly powerful in studies of gapped systems. \nMore recently\, a rich web of dualities was discovered in 2+1 dimensions relating some of the simplest critical theories of interest in condensed matter physics. These dualities may be useful in improving understanding of central ideas such as ‘flux attachment’ and the physics of the composite Fermi liquid. All of these recent developments make it an excellent time to bring together theorists in these areas to share their insights and tools. \n\nAgenda\n\n Download agenda PDF here. \n\n\nSunday\n\n\n\n8:00 – 9:30 PM\nDinner at La Salle\n\n\nMonday\n\n\n\n8:30 – 10:00 AM\nBreakfast at La Salle\n\n\n10:00 – 10:15 AM\nWelcome & Introduction\n\n\n10:15 – 10:45 AM\nNathan Seiberg\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30 AM\nSenthil Todadri\n\n\n11:30 – 12:00 PM\nBreak\n\n\n12:00 – 12:30 PM\nShinsei Ryu\n\n\n12:30 – 1:30 PM\nLunch at La Salle\n\n\n1:30 – 4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation*\n\n\n4:30- 5:00 PM\nTea\n\n\n5:00 – 5:30 PM\nShamit Kachru\n\n\n5:45 – 6:15 PM\nDavid Tong\n\n\n6:30- 7:30 PM\nOrganized Discussion\n\n\n8:00 – 9:30 PM\nDinner at La Salle\n\n\nTuesday\n\n\n\n8:30 – 10:00 AM\nBreakfast at La Salle\n\n\n10:00 – 10:45 AM\nDaniel Harlow\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30 AM\nMatthew Headrick\n\n\n11:30 – 12:00 PM\nBreak\n\n\n12:00 – 12:30 PM\nHirosi Ooguri\n\n\n12:30 – 1:30 PM\nLunch at La Salle\n\n\n1:30 – 4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation*\n\n\n4:30 – 5:00 PM\nTea\n\n\n5:00 – 5:30 PM\nXi Dong\n\n\n5:45 – 6:15 PM\nMark Van Raamsdonk\n\n\n6:30 – 7:30 PM\nOrganized Discussion\n\n\n8:00 – 9:30 PM\nDinner at Wintergarden\n\n\nWednesday\n\n\n\n7:30 – 9:30 AM\nBreakfast\n\n\n9:45 – 2:00 PM\nGuided Hike to Partnach Gorge\n\n\n2:00 – 3:00 PM\nLunch at Wintergarden\n\n\n3:00 – 4:00 PM\nRecreation & Discussion\n\n\n4:00 – 4:30 PM\nTea\n\n\n4:30 – 5:15 PM\nJosephine Suh\n\n\n5:30 – 6:00 PM\nKristan Jensen\n\n\n8:00 – 9:30 PM\nDinner at La Salle\n\n\nThursday\n\n\n\n8:00 – 9:00 AM\nBreakfast at La Salle\n\n\n9:00 – 9:30 AM\nHoracio Casini\n\n\n9:45 – 10:15 AM\nSandip Trivedi\n\n\n10:15 – 10:45  AM\nBreak\n\n\n10:45 – 11:15 AM\nBrian Swingle\n\n\n11:30 – 12:00 PM\nAhmed Almheiri\n\n\n12:00 – 1:00 PM\nLunch at La Salle\n\n\n1:00 – 4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation*\n\n\n4:30 – 5:00 PM\nTea\n\n\n5:00 -5:45 PM\nAshvin Vishwanath\n\n\n6:00 – 6:30 PM\nBeni Yoshida\n\n\n6:45 – 7:45 PM\nOrganized Discussion\n\n\n8:00 – 9:30 PM\nDinner at La Salle\n\n\nFriday\n\n\n\n8:00 – 9:00 AM\nBreakfast at La Salle\n\n\n9:00 – 9:30 AM\nLukasz Fidkowski\n\n\n9:45 – 10:15 AM\nMaissam Barkeshli\n\n\n10:15 – 10:45  AM\nBreak\n\n\n10:45 – 11:15 AM\nDan Freed\n\n\n11:30 – 12:00 PM\nMichael Hermele\n\n\n12:00 – 1:00 PM\nLunch at La Salle\n\n\n1:00 – 4:30 PM\nDiscussion & Recreation*\n\n\n4:30 – 5:00 PM\nTea\n\n\n5:00 -5:30 PM\nOrganized Discussion\n\n\n5:45 – 6:15 PM\nSubir Sachdev\n\n\n8:00 – 9:30 PM\nDinner at Kaminstüberl\n\n\nLocations\n\n\n\nSESSIONS\nPavillion located at the Schloss Elmau Retreat\n\n\nMEALS\nLa Salle unless otherwise noted\n\n\nTEA & DISCUSSION\nPavillion located at the Schloss Elmau Retreat\n\n\nEXCURSION \nMeet in Schloss Elmau Lobby\n\n\nSATURDAY DEPARTURE\nMeet in Schloss Elmau Lobby\n\n\n*Participants may explore the hotel property and its surrounding areas as well as engage in informal discussion with other participants. \nStart Time\n\n		The meeting will begin on Monday morning at 10:00 am in the Pavillon meeting room located at the Schloss Elmau Retreat.
