Title: Forecasting cosmological constraints beyond two-point statistics with One-Point Statistics Speaker: Lina Castiblanco Bio: I am a cosmologist and postdoctoral researcher at Bielefeld University. My research focuses on extracting information about the large-scale structure of the Universe beyond traditional two-point statistics, particularly through one-point probability distribution functions of weak lensing and galaxy clustering. During my […]
Title: "Probability in Quantum Mechanics" Speaker: Mark Srednicki (University of California, Santa Barbara) Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Born rule for probabilities of outcomes of measurements on quantum systems, but there is still no generally accepted understanding of its status. One reason for this […]
