Mid-Summer Community Pizza Lunch
All members of the Wright Lab community and Wright Lab summer program participants and their mentors are invited to a mid-summer pizza lunch.
All members of the Wright Lab community and Wright Lab summer program participants and their mentors are invited to a mid-summer pizza lunch.
“Science Communication” will include presentations by Wright Lab researchers David Moore (associate professor), Samantha Pagan (graduate student), and Jorge Torres (postdoctoral associate), providing helpful information and tips about:
Writing & publishing papers & abstracts
preparing for scientific conferences and presentations
communicating with the public about science
The event will conclude with a Q&A panel discussion to answer any questions you may have or cover any additional topics you are interested in.
Wright Lab summer program students are invited to celebrate the Summer Solstice (longest day of the year) with a planetarium show and observing with telescopes, pending weather. In case of poor weather, the event will be held on Thursday, June 22. Open to all summer student researchers in astronomy, physics, and the Yale Quantum Institute.
Students in the Wright Lab summer student research program are invited to join a guided walking tour of Yale University.
The tour will leave from the Yale Visitor Center at 149 Elm Street, New Haven, CT 06511 at 1:00 p.m. Please plan to come a few minutes early so the group does not leave without you.
The tour lasts approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, and will end in the Broadway District near the Yale Bookstore at 77 Broadway.
Wright Lab summer program students are invited to join YQI for a tour of the superconducting quantum devices laboratories in Becton. Meet up at YQI at 12 pm for a quick introduction to Quantum Information Science and then we’ll head to the labs and back to YQI where lunch will be provided.
Host: Florian Carle
In the frame of 2023 Summer Programming for Undergraduates at Wright Lab, YQI member Yongshan Ding is offering an Introduction to Quantum Computing Workshop in the YQI seminar room.
The workshop will be divided in two parts: one-hour overview of quantum computing and another hour of hands-on programming exercises.
Requirements: please bring a laptop.
In recent years, advancements in optically levitated nanoparticles have enabled the cooling of their center-of-mass motion to the quantum ground state. As a result, a nanoparticle, which comprises billions of atoms, becomes delocalized over picometer scales. This talk aims to explore the challenges and requirements of achieving a macroscopic quantum superposition of a nanoparticle, in which the center-of-mass position is delocalized over orders of magnitude larger scales.
This workshop will begin with a brief introduction to computing available to students in the summer research program at the Wright Laboratory, how to access these systems, how to navigate the command line, and how to set up a Python environment for computing. The remainder of the session will provide an opportunity for students to bring questions and challenges specific to their projects and work through them with Vincent Balbarin (computing support) and their peers.
The Wright Lab community is invited to welcome our summer student researchers with coffee, breakfast food, and casual interaction.
Energy-energy correlators (EEC) have been proposed as new powerful tools to explore the substructure of QCD jets. Compared with other tools that are used to characterize jet substructure they have the advantage of being firmly anchors in QCD, and their scale evolution is well defined and calculable in perturbative QCD. Experimental data indicate a rapid transition from a regime (at large relative angles) that is well described by perturbative parton splitting to a regime (at small relative angles) where the EECs are described by statistical emission of hadrons.
