The discrepancy in the Hubble constant measurements, ranging from 4σ to 6σ, between local probes and the Cosmic Microwave Background observations, is still lively debated in the modern research. In this talk, we examine this tension using the SNe Ia...[Read More]

Using ML in cosmological simulations to efficiently model the reionization era
Cosmological Simulations
By Gaurav PundirThe first stars in the universe produced energetic photons that ionized the neutral hydrogen gas pervading the universe at that time. This 'Epoch of Reionization (EoR)' is challenging to observe through telescopes, and we need fast and efficient ways to...[Read More]

Machine Learning with Nuclear spins: Learning Quantum Entanglement
Quantum Information
By Vivek SabaradMachine learning is a powerful tool for analyzing complex datasets, but its application to quantum systems presents unique challenges. Kernels, which measure the similarity between data points, are a key component of many machine learning algorithms. Quantum kernels offer the...[Read More]
Distinguishability of physical states in quantum mechanics
Quantum Physics
By Aashish Jaiswal"Two physically different states of a classical system are in principle distinguishable. But that is not always true for quantum mechanical systems. I will discuss why is it not possible to distinguish states of a quantum system which are non-orthogonal,...[Read More]
