Terrence George researches dimer models, which model spin states in physics; he is especially interested what happens in larger lattices. Such mathematical models are used by physicists to investigate statistical mechanics in extreme conditions and at phase transitions of matter. Terrence has been working with […]
IPAM congratulates all awardees of the prestigious National Medal of Science at the White House last Friday. We would like to acknowledge former Science Advisory Board member, program organizer, and Green Family Lecturer Cynthia Dwork (Harvard University), former Science Advisory Board member and program speaker […]
In 2024, IPAM has explored deep connections between mathematics and physics through programs on Mathematical and Computational Challenges in Quantum Computing (Fall 2024) and Statistical Mechanics, Integrable Systems, and Geometry (Spring 2025). Both programswere highly successful in establishing new collaborations and pushing the boundaries of […]
