These are notes from a three-lecture mini-course on free probability given at
MSRI in the Fall of 2010 and repeated a year later at Harvard. The lectures
were aimed at mathematicians and mathematical physicists […]

James A. Sauls, professor of physics and astronomy in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern University, has been awarded the 2012 John Bardeen Prize for his contributions to the theory of […]

Widely studied quasiparticle models for quark gluon plasma is revisited here
to understand the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of the system. We
investigate the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics […]

The top-quark mass mt is one of the fundamental parameters of the standard
model (SM) of particle physics. The CDF and D0 collaborations already performed
very precise measurements of mt . Since the ATLAS and CMS […]

Drawing on powerful computational tools and a state-of-the-art scanning transmission electron microscope, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison and Iowa State University materials science and engineering […]

Quantum correlations in composite and separable quantum systems are
characterized by non-vanishing quantum discord. We demonstrate the necessary
and sufficient conditions for existence of hermitian witness […]

The spacecraft suffered a hiccup last week, but engineers have since recovered it.

In this Letter we discuss a natural general relativistic mechanism that
causes inhomogeneities and hence generates matter perturbations in the early
universe. We concentrate on spikes, both incomplete spikes and […]

Drawing on powerful computational tools and a state-of-the-art scanning transmission electron microscope, materials science and engineering researchers have discovered a new nanometer-scale atomic structure in […]

Despite the fact that the integral form of the equations of classical
electrodynamics is well known, the same is not true for non-abelian gauge
theories. The aim of the present paper is threefold. First, we […]

In later papers we have shown that sunward, generally dark, plasma features
originated above posteruption flare arcades are consistent with a scenario
where plasma voids are generated by the bouncing and […]

For the last few decades, space scientists have generally accepted that the bubble of gas and magnetic fields generated by the sun moves through space, creating three distinct boundary layers that culminate in an […]
