Hyperbolic lattices are a new form of synthetic quantum matter in which particles effectively hop on a discrete tiling of two-dimensional hyperbolic space, a non-Euclidean space of negative curvature. Hyperbolic tilings were studied by the British-Canadian geometer H.S.M. Coxeter and popularized through art by M.C. Escher. Recent experiments in circuit quantum electrodynamics and electric...
Wolfgang Pauli called solid-state physics "the physics of dirt effects", and this name might appear well-deserved at first sight since transport properties are more often than not set by extrinsic properties, like impurities. In this talk, I will present solid-state systems in which electrons behave like a hydrodynamic fluid, and for which transport properties are instead set by intrinsic...
As living organisms age, they stochastically move through high-dimensional "health-space". Developing simple and predictive models that captures aging dynamics is challenging because the organism is not homogenous: there are many thousands of distinct physiological attributes that could be measured. We pursue three strategies to simplify aging while embracing its complexity. First we develop...
