D01.00001: Oh, the things we've seen! An unexpected journey through NASA's TESS mission Invited Speaker: Diana Dragomir Designed to discover thousands of exoplanets around the brightest and nearest stars to us, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission has just embarked on its second extension. Over the past four years, TESS has been extraordinarily successful at its main task, with nearly 250 confirmed new exoplanets found so far, and 6000 planet candidates (of which the vast majority are expected to be true planets) waiting to be verified. While, the most conspicuous legacy of TESS will be the discovery of individual systems suitable for detailed atmospheric characterization with facilities such as JWST, I will show how the survey is revolutionizing the field of exoplanet science in other ways as well, often with only minimal follow-up (non-TESS) observations. |

D01.00002: Quantum computing as a wayfinder for frontier physics Invited Speaker: Andrew J Landahl Quantum computers promise to help us find solutions to previously intractable problems in materials science, chemistry, nuclear physics, particle physics, cosmology, and many other scientific disciplines. Quantum computers are even objects of scientific inquiry in their own right. In this talk, I will describe quantum computers we have built at Sandia, quantum programming languages and quantum data types we have invented for them, and ways that we and others are using our testbed quantum computers to unravel scientific mysteries. I’ll conclude with forecasting of where quantum computing is headed and the roadblocks that need to be overcome to get us there. |
