Recordatorio de seminario: Ecology, politics, and ethics of quantum computing.
by Daniel Manzano 29 Oct '20

29 Oct '20

El grupo de Física Estadística de los Sistemas Complejos les invita al siguiente seminario. Título: Ecology, politics, and ethics of quantum computing. Ponente: Emma McKay (they/them), York University. Fecha y hora: Jueves 29 de Octubre 16:30. Resumen: Quantum computing is growing in influence, thanks to interest from corporations and militaries. Many ethical decisions are thus present in this science, whether we like it or not. Thankfully, there are tools from science and technology studies that can help us make decisions with a critical eye by situating the work in a larger political and ecological context. In this talk, I will do just that for quantum work. First, I will share my own experience coming to see quantum science as ethically fraught. Then, we'll look at the issues with the resources required to build quantum computers and with their applications in the military and corporations. Finally, I'll connect this context to ethics and the ability to prevent a project from going forward.

Recordatorio de Seminario: Ocean currents promote rare species diversity in protists.
by Daniel Manzano 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

El grupo de Física Estadística de los Sistemas Complejos les invita al siguiente seminario (atención al cambio de fecha): - Ponente: Paula Villa. Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. Biological Complexity Unit. - Título: Ocean currents promote rare species diversity in protists. - Abstract: Oceans host communities of plankton composed of a huge number of rare species that, as estimated in metagenomic studies, decay as a steep power law of their abundance. We propose that the way chaotic advection of oceanic currents limit protists dispersal is a key factor of such biodiversity pattern. We introduce a spatially explicit coalescence model able to reconstruct species ancestry and diversity in the presence of currents. Our model predicts a steep power law decay of the species abundance distribution and a steep increase of the number of observed species with sample size. Indeed, we find a significant correlation of the local finite-size Lyapunov exponents of our chaotic currents and the power law exponents of the species abundance distribution. Metagenomic studies of planktonic protist communities show excellent agreement with our results. - Fecha y hora: Viernes 9 de Octubre a las 12 horas. - Lugar: Laboratorio de Física Computacional, Planta baja del edificio de Física, Facultad de Ciencias. - Referencia: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/29/eaaz9037 <https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/29/eaaz9037> El seminario será presencial, hasta completar el aforo reducido del aula (10 personas).
