Caltech

Sean M. Carroll·Caltech

Connects Boltzmann's statistical definition of entropy to cosmology's deepest puzzle: why the early universe began in an extraordinarily low-entropy gravitational state.

Kip Thorne·Caltech

Recounts half a century of geometrodynamics, numerical relativity, and laser interferometry culminating in LIGO's direct observation of colliding binary black holes.

Carver Mead·Caltech

VLSI and neuromorphic engineering pioneer Carver Mead reflects on device scaling limits, electron tunneling, Moore's Law, and physical laws governing computation.

John Preskill·Caltech

Maps the physical boundary between noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices and fault-tolerant topological error correction.

Ashwinee Panda·Caltech

An in-depth analysis of the feasibility of worst-case membership inference in large language models, challenging prevailing assumptions about data privacy.

Robin Staab·Caltech

An examination of privacy implications in Large Language Models, extending beyond memorization to reconstructive adversarial techniques and data poisoning vulnerabilities.
