Andrej Obuljen (Waterloo) “Anisotropic Assembly Bias in Theory, Simulations and BOSS Data”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT Clustering of matter on large scales provides an important source of information on key cosmological parameters. To extract this information we need to understand the relation between the tracers we observe and the underlying matter field. The clustering strength …

Donatella Lucchesi (INFN) “”Muon Collider: A Window to the Future””

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: Muon colliders represent a highly attractive option for future collider thanks to the possibility to reach very high center of mass energy, high luminosity with reasonable costs and dimensions. Nevertheless, the feasibility is not yet fully demonstrated and presents …

Matt Klein (Michigan) “Search for Higgs boson decays to bottom quarks in the vector boson fusion production mode”

ABSTRACT: The Higgs boson is expected to decay to bb approximately 58% of the time. Despite the large branching fraction, due to the large background from SM events with b-jets, measuring this decay has been less precise than other, less …

Aniruddha Bapat (University of Maryland, College Park) “Variational Quantum Optimization in the NISQ Era”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: Quantum information science in the coming decade will likely be carried out on noisy devices consisting of ~100-1000 qubits that do not share full interconnectivity. In this so-called NISQ regime, variational quantum algorithms, which tackle a wide range of …
