Progress is reviewed in the understanding of color confinement .
This course consists of two lectures. In the first lecture I discuss why a non perturbative formulation of QCD is needed, and I show that lattice formulation copes with this need, even if it mainly produces numerical results. In the second…
A brief and biased overview of the phenomenon of confinement in QCD is presented in three parts: (1) the definition of confinement, (2) properties of confinement, (3) ideas of confinement. The second part chiefly consists of a brief review…
This paper collects some problems that I have encountered during the years, have puzzled me and which, to the best of my knowledge, are still open. Most of them are well-known and have been first stated by other authors. In this sad season…
In this talk, I address some open problems in hadron physics and stress their importance for a better understanding of QCD in the confinement regime.
I share my opinions on how to get the most out of conferences. I have some advice on giving talks, but most of the essay is devoted to the much larger share of the conference not spent giving talks: attending talks and socializing.
These lectures cover two aspects: first, irrespectively of the particular approach followed to tackle the QCD phase diagram, we introduce some tools that help discussing the confinement/deconfinement transition in the continuum; second,…
Recently I posted a paper entitled "External observer reflections on QBism". As any external observable, I was not able to reflect some features of QBism properly. Therefore comments which I received from one of its creators, C. Fuchs, are…
The following questions are discussed: ``Why confidence intervals are a hot topic?''; ``Are confidence intervals objective?''; ``What is the usefulness of coverage?''; ``How to obtain useful information from experiment?''; ``The confidence…
The status of our understanding of the mechanisms of color confinement is reviewed, in particular the results of numerical simulations on the lattice.
A Quantum Computing Concept Inventory is needed for the acceleration of uptake of best practice in quantum computing education required to support the quantum computing workforce for the next two decades. Eight experts in quantum computing,…
Information sharing is vital in resisting cyberattacks, and the volume and severity of these attacks is increasing very rapidly. Therefore responders must triage incoming warnings in deciding how to act. This study asked a very specific…
Some basic features of confinement are reviewed, in particular the symmetry patterns of the dual dynamics. Open problems and possible directions of progress are discussed.
We investigate how the students think of their experience in a junior 300 level computer science course that uses blackboard as the underlying course management system. The discussion boards in Blackboard are heavily used for programming…
Topics play an important role in the global organisation of a conversation as what is currently discussed constrains the possible contributions of the participant. Understanding the way topics are organised in interaction would provide…
We summarize recent progress in describing the confinement-deconfinement transition from a novel perturbative approach.
Machine Learning is a powerful tool for astrophysicists, which has already had significant uptake in the community. But there remain some barriers to entry, relating to proper understanding, the difficulty of interpretability, and the lack…
Smart home technology is part of our everyday lives, and this technology is fast-evolving compared to other technologies. The user's feedback is gathered in this paper by conducting expert interviews on how collecting the feedback from the…
With rapid increase in online information consumption, especially via social media sites, there have been concerns on whether people are getting selective exposure to a biased subset of the information space, where a user is receiving more…
CIPANP 2009 is the tenth meeting of this series. I look back at some of the key events of past meetings, comment on a few of the presentations of this meeting, and look foward to the next CIPANP gathering, when first data from the LHC will…
