If you know an innovative young scientist, engineer or mathematician with leadership skills and exceptional creativity, then you can help us identify the next Hertz Fellowship recipients. What is the Hertz Fellowship? The Hertz Fellowship empowers the nation’s most promising doctoral students in science and technology to pursue research that best advances our nation’s security and economic vitality. Hertz Fellows receive up to five years of funding, offering flexibility from the traditional constraints of graduate training and the independence needed to innovate. In addition to receiving financial support, Hertz Fellows join a multigenerational, intellectual community of peers, providing a unique engine for professional development and collaboration. (Eligible applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents.) How can prospective applicants learn more about the Hertz Fellowship? The Hertz Foundation held an online information session<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__hertzfoundation.us19.l…> for prospective applicants, during which Hertz Fellowship Director Derek Haseltine and Hertz Fellows Nikhil Bhattasali, Bailey Flanigan, and Jane Wang discussed this unique doctoral funding opportunity and provide advice to help prepare your application. The resources below also provide additional information about the fellowship. We encourage you to share this email with students who have a broad understanding of science and technology, exceptional creativity, and a keen interest in applying innovative research toward strengthening our nation and impacting lives. Thanks in advance for your support. You can always email us with any questions at fellowshipinfo(a)hertzfoundation.org<mailto:fellowshipinfo@hertzfoundation.org>. All the best, Derek Haseltine Director, Hertz Fellowship Program Application Resources We encourage you to explore these additional resources and opportunities.

Reminder: Workshop "Locality and complexity in quantum thermal equilibrium"

by Haferkamp, Jonas

Dear all, This is a small reminder that the Workshop "Locality and complexity in quantum thermal equilibrium" is about to start. See also the updated website https://sites.google.com/view/localitycomplexityquantum/inicio. The event takes place in SEC 2.122 and 2.123 but to find it you have to open the door 2.100.C2, which is close to the stairs at the cafeteria on the second floor. We are trying to set up a video conference that you should be able to access via the following link: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/3304043626 All the best, Jonas
