Blessings and Curses on Supersymmetry

The discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC, as well as other data from the LHC and elsewhere have had strong implications for low-energy supersymmetry. I will discuss them, as well as ensuing prospects forexperimentally testing SUSY in collider and dark matter search experiments.

Paradoxes of quantum noninvasive measurements

Standard projective quantum measurements are invasive. However, a special limit of simple detection schemes allows for noninvasive measurements. Their results disagree with fundamental classical intuitions: positive probability, local realism and microscopic time symmetry, and can be tested experimentally.

The limits of the nuclear landscape

Understanding nuclei is a quantum many-body problem of incredible richnessand diversity and studies of nuclei address some of the great challengesthat are common throughout modern science. Nuclear structure researchstrives to build a unified and comprehensive microscopic framework inwhich bulk nuclear properties, nuclear excitations, and nuclear reactionscan all be described. A new and exciting focus in this endeavor lies inthe description of exotic and short lived nuclei. The extremeproton-to-neutron asymmetry of these nuclei isolates and amplifiesimportant features of nuclear many-bodyopen quantum systems.

In this talk, experimental and theoretical advances in rare isotoperesearch will be reviewed in the context of the main scientific questions.Particular attention will be given to the worldwide radioactive beamsinitiatives and to the progress in theoretical studies of nuclei due tothe advent of extreme-scale computing platforms.
