  Location: CSP Conference Room (322)

  Abstract: Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation allow us to look at the evolution of individual galaxies in a way that cannot be done in observations, where we only see any one galaxy at a single point in time. They also give us access to difficult- or impossible-to-observe components of galaxies and allow us to interpret the physical relationship between the components of galaxies that can be observed. I will discuss the MUGS and MaGICC suites of galaxy formation simulations and highlight some recent results on these topics, including the chemical enrichment of galaxies, the rotation of hot halo gas in their surroundings, and the structure of the dark matter halo near the virial radius.

• A Conversation with Information Security

  What does the Office of Information Security do to protect the UGA network? What behaviors can you, the end user, adopt to protect your data, systems and accounts? In this informal information session, two representatives of the Office of Information Security will discuss some of the tools used to protect the UGA network, what you at the CSP can do to protect your personal data and current computer security problems as well as persistent threats. The discussion will primarily focus on UGA, but include problems faced by educational institutions and end users in general.

• Quantum Simulations, Operator Splitting and Few Qubit Systems

  Guest: Andrew Sornborger, Department of Mathematics, UC Davis
  Tuesday, September 1, 2015 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
  Location: CSP Conference Room (322)

  iCal
  Abstract: This talk will include 1) a pedagogical description of the tools that one uses to construct a quantum simulation and 2) demonstrations of their use to implement quantum simulations on modern quantum computers, which do not yet have significant error correcting capabilities. The tools that I’ll discuss are largely related to operator splitting methods. These are ways to approximate complex Hamiltonian evolution by interleaving simpler evolutions that can be readily computed. The discussion of operator splitting methods will be sufficient for understanding the simulation of time-independent Hamiltonian evolution. However, I’ll also introduce a few more tools, including Magnus series methods, in order to attack the time-dependent problem. During the talk, I’ll demonstrate the application of these methods to the quantum simulation of tunneling phenomena and to molecular collisions using systems of just a few qubits.

• Feeding and feedback in the multi-phase interstellar medium

  Guest: Alex Hill, Department of Astronomy, Haverford College
  Tuesday, January 19, 2016 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
  Location: Conference Room (322)

  iCal
  Abstract: The interstellar medium is the intermediary between star formation, stellar feedback, and galaxy evolution. Our understanding of the ISM has evolved from a static three-phase model into one in which turbulence and magnetic fields regulate a much more complex, dynamic medium. I will present magnetohydrodynamic simulations of this turbulent, multi-phase ISM, demonstrating the dynamic nature of the interaction between the star-forming disk and the Galactic halo. I will also discuss the implications for infall of gas into the Galaxy which feeds future star formation.
