Teal Pershing, UC Davis Graduate Student, receives award for oral presentation at the Nuclear Security Program Review event, UC Berkeley

Professor Jim Crutchfield and his group will publish an article in Physical Review X on a new, fundamental limit on the energy cost of computing.

Nearly 100 of the world’s top students in theoretical physics traveled to UC Davis in June for the week-long Amplitudes Summer School, devoted to the study of scattering amplitudes and related topics in physics.

Last week we had nearly 90 PhD students from all over the world for the week full of lectures and discussions! Check out our photo gallery!

Prof Jaroslav Trnka has just been awarded the Young Scientist Prize in Particles and Fields by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) "For the discovery and exploration of new physical and mathematical principles underlying the dynamics of particle scattering amplitudes in a wide range of theories." http://iupap.org/commissions/c11-particles-and-fields/c11-news/

The Templeton World Charity Foundation recently recognized the UC Davis Complexity Sciences Center’s international impact by awarding its “Power of Information” postdoctoral fellowships to two CSC graduate students.

The Amplitudes 2018 Summer School will be held at the Center for Quantum Mathematics and Physics (QMAP) at the University of California, Davis on June 11-15, 2018. This summer school will precede the Amplitudes 2018 conference (hosted by SLAC from June 18-22, 2018) and will bring together experts in this area discussing recent discoveries. The summer school will offer a set of introductory lectures to some of the key topics to be discussed at the conference.

Laura Greene, Outgoing President, American Physical Society, will spend two days at UC Davis in May, hosted by the Physics Department. Dr. Greene will give a public lecture on Wednesday, May 23rd, at the health campus in Sacramento, and a more detailed physics seminar on Thursday, May 24th at the Welcome Center on the Davis campus.
