The Springfield College Department of Math, Physics, and Computer Science Colloquium for the spring semester featured Assistant Professor of Physics Alejandro Satz, Phd, focused on Defining the Entanglement Entropy of Quantum Fields. The virtual presentation was hosted on Wednesday, March 3.
Satz led the participants through the questions of: If we have two electrons, and measure something about one, how much are we learning about the other one? This simple question has ramifications throughout fundamental physics, including the mysteries of black holes and the state of the universe immediately after the Big Bang.
During the colloquium, Satz gave a nontechnical introduction to these problems highlighting recent research.
Satz earned his PhD in mathematical sciences from the University of Nottingham in Nottingham, England. He joined the Springfield College Department of Math, Physics, and Computer Science in fall 2020 and teaches both physics and mathematics courses.
