Can we really trust automated decision making? Whether we like it or not today cars are starting to drive themselves and medical diagnosis are done by computers.
In this course, we explore what it means for a computer program to be correct and how we can be absolutely certain it is.
S614: Symmetries and Parallel Universes in Splash Fall 2020 (Oct. 31, 2020)
Symmetry is a property that we all see in our everyday lives. In physics, however, symmetry is a tool to understand everything in our Universe.
In this course, we'll explore the notion of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB), where a system spontaneously transforms from being symmetric to being asymmetric. Widely used in particle physics and condensed matter physics, SSB can help us understand how simple outcomes in our world, like a falling pencil, might give rise to parallel universes.
