The Conference Presentation

Happy Thanksgiving, eh? 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics!

• Jim Peebles (Princeton), Michel Mayor (Geneva), Didier Queloz (Cambridge)

• Peebles: “for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology.” • Mayor and Queloz: “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star." The Conference Presentation Scientific Talks Types of Scientific Talks: • Contributed Conference Talk (10-15 minutes) • Short and succinct! Usually aimed at specialists • Don’t go into great detail; just the basics necessary to convey the message • 5 slides max (excluding figures)

• Seminar (50 minutes) • A talk usually aimed at like-minded specialists (e.g. gravity group, condensed matter group, biophysics group) • Heavy on details and field-specific technical aspects

• Colloquium (50 minutes) • Usually less technical than a seminar; content aimed at physicists, not necessarily specialists

• Public Lecture (~1 hour) • A comprehensive talk that tells a story to the general public; doesn’t have to be about specific research topic The Conference Talk • About 4 or 5 slides maximum (excluding title and sign-off) • Caveat! Unless you have figures that can be discussed quickly!

1. Title slide 2. Introduction / background to topic. 3. How your work fits in to this topic. 4. Specifics on your work and results 5. Specifics on your work and results (if needed) 6. Conclusions and future directions 7. Sign-off slide

• Anticipate 2 minutes per slide (title and figures go faster)

• Time dilation! 10-12 minutes passes much faster when you’re in front of an audience! Tips on Slide Formatting

• Keep them simple! Only show relevant info (equations; plots; descriptions)

• Know your audience! Gear the technical content to fit those in attendance.

• Don’t show paragraphs; point form info is easier on the eyes; you fill in the gaps!

• Don’t go overboard on animations; use simple “appear” (wipes are also good to describe plot structures)

• Keep formatting consistent between slides (colors, fonts, etc…) Deciphering Quantum Information from Classical Black Holes

Date / purpose of talk / location Are Black Holes Classical or Quantum?

Descriptive title!• Black holes are a perhaps the only class of object in the Universe that are characterized simultaneously by classical and quantum characteristics

Short description of dr2 • Metric: ds2 = f(r) dt2 r2d⌦2 the content (you fill f(r) in the rest)

• Characteristics: – Singularity f(r =0) !1 Classical – Horizon f(rH )=0

– Temperature T f 0(rH ) Equations relevant ⇠ 2 to the topic (not too AH r Quantum – Entropy S = H many!) 4 ⇠ 4 Slide title Near Horizon Metric Fluctuations Relevant citation

• Quantum information transfer parameterized by couplings of BH internal state to quantum fields of the BH atmosphere.

Dimension depends on interaction / energy scale of associated phenomena

d < (3+1) at small scales / high energy d = (3+1) at macroscopic scales / low energy
