    Title: Distributed Quantum Computing with Shared Quantum Gate Processing Unit Abstract: Due to many physical constraints, it is extremely challenging to build a monolithic fully connected quantum computer with a very large number (N) of qubits, in which a direct control gate operation can be performed between two arbitrary qubits. Extending from N to N+1…

    Title: The Impact of Nuclear Physics on Society Abstract: Born in war, nuclear science was first revealed to the world in horror. The Cold War, power plant disasters, and current political tensions continue to play into people’s fears of everything nuclear. But what is the scientist’s role? The author uses public scholarship to help address…

    Title: Controlling crystal growth using polyelectrolytes Abstract: In one form or another, polyelectrolyte additives are employed to control the formation of ionic crystals in a variety of contexts. As one example, engineers employ them as antiscalants to prevent the buildup of minerals on the interior of pipes. In a drastically different setting -- the microenvironment…

    Title: Galaxies as Probes of the Particle Physics Nature of Dark Matter Abstract: The hypothesis of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) has been spectacularly confirmed on the largest scales of the Universe and must now be stress-tested on sub-galactic scales.  Many well-motivated and generic alternatives to CDM can leave spectacular signatures on precisely these scales, affecting the evolution of galaxies as well as their population statistics.  Excitingly, over the course of the…

    Title: Quantum Networks Abstract: I discuss a few ideas at the interface of network science and quantum physics. A key idea in this interface is the notion of a quantum walk, which is a generalization of a classical random walk. I will discuss the use of quantum walks to measure the importance (i.e., centrality) of…
