High Energy Theory Seminar: Comments on the density matrix of the universe in two dimensional quantum cosmology

Andreas Blommaert (Institute for Advanced Study)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I discuss work in progress on obtaining a reasonable density matrix of the universe in two dimensional quantum cosmology. I will do so by comparing aspects of the Hilbert space of closed universes in JT gravity…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Real-Time Path Integrals, Caustics and Interference

Job Felbrugge (University of Edinburgh)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Interference is one of the most universal phenomena in nature, as exemplified by the real-time Feynman path integral. Despite the ubiquity of interference patterns, their evaluation has often proven challenging.…

High Energy Theory Seminar: CMB limits on decaying dark matter: going beyond the ionization threshold

Wenzer Qin (NYU)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

The temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have been used to set constraints on decaying dark matter models down to keV masses. In this talk, I will discuss recent work to…



Astrophysics Seminar: Mapping the near-infrared sky with SPHEREx

Jordan Mirocha (JPL)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, Center for Particle Cosmology Lounge

SPHEREx, NASA's next MIDEX mission, will launch in February and map the entire sky in 102 near-infrared spectral channels from 0.75-5 microns. This rich dataset will be used for a wide variety of science, including…
