Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Price of Power: Campaign Finance, Press Coverage, and the Polarization of American Politics | Andrew Myers
Q: What's something you have discovered in your work that I or others who are like consumers of media would be surprised by?
Three main findings: money matters in campaign finance with direct contributions and the rise of dark money; press coverage significantly influences down-ballot races though it is uneven; and the supply of candidates—and how redistricting and term limits alter who runs—have deep, sometimes unintended effects on polarization and governance.
Can We Actually Detect Gravitational Waves with Atoms? | Peter Graham
Q: What are you actually measuring to see that interference?
We measure the number of atoms that end up in each output path by shining a laser to make them scatter light and then counting with a camera; constructive interference yields many atoms in one direction and destructive interference yields few or none in that direction.
Can We Actually Detect Gravitational Waves with Atoms? | Peter Graham
Q: So what did you build?
We built an atom interferometer that splits a single strontium atom's wave function, sends the two halves on separate trajectories, and then recombines them to measure the phase shift caused by gravity or gravitational waves, effectively making a matter-wave interferometer.
