Dear all,

I hope you are fine and in good spirits.

After a long summer break we are back with our seminar series of complex systems via ZOOM. To start this second part of the year we have a special guest: Carl M. Bender.

The information of the seminar is the following:
================================================
Speaker: Prof. Carl M. Bender (Washington University in Saint Louis, USA)

Title: PT Symmetry

Abstract: By using complex-variable methods one can extend conventional Hermitian quantum theories into the complex domain. The result is a huge and exciting new class of parity-time-symmetric (PT-symmetric) theories whose remarkable physical properties are currently under intense study by theorists and experimentalists. Many theoretical predictions have been verified in recent beautiful laboratory experiments.

Short bio: Carl M. Bender is the Konneker Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis and Visiting Professor at Heidelberg University and King's College London. He received his PhD from Harvard University, was a postdoc at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, and Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics at MIT. He was the Ulam Scholar at Los Alamos, Editor-in-Chief of JPhysA, and was granted fellowships from the Sloan, Guggenheim, Lady Davis, Fulbright, Leverhulme, and Rockefeller Foundations. He was awarded the 2017 Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics. He is currently supported by the Alexander von Humboldt and Simons Foundations and the U.K. Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

Dear colleagues,

I hope you are all enjoying the Seminar Series of Complex Systems. Tuesday next week we have another special guest: Nobel laureate Carl Wieman

The information of the seminar is the following:

Speaker: Carl Wieman (Physics and Education, Stanford University)

Date and Time: Tuesday 8th of March, 5-6 pm (Mexico City local time)

Title: Taking a scientific approach to physics education

Abstract: Guided by experimental tests of theory and practice, science has advanced rapidly in the past 500 years. Guided primarily by tradition and dogma, science education has remained largely medieval. Recent research on how people learn, combined with careful experiments in university physics classrooms, is now revealing much more effective ways to teach and evaluate learning than is currently used in most science classes. I will discuss these results and what they tell us about principles of learning and their effective implementation in physics courses and research advising. This research is setting the stage for a new approach to teaching that can provide the relevant and effective science education for all students that is needed for the 21st century. It also reveals that traditional attitudes about learning and the introductory physics curriculum can be inadvertently sustaining systemic discrimination.

Title: State Selection in Driven Out of Equilibrium Systems – Noisy Stabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation

Abstract: this talk discusses the problem of pattern selection in driven out of equilibrium systems by stochastic noise by two methods: (i) Computer simulation of Langevin equation and (ii) construction of a potential and minimizing this. Both methods work for a test case – a stabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with additive stochastic noise which is essential for selecting a unique stationary state at late time. The second method is mainly analytic and the state minimizing the potential agrees with the numerical result.
