Teaching Teacha! An exploration of culturally responsive pedagogy in Jewish education
(Routledge / Taylor & Francis, 2014)This case study examines the contours of culturally relevant pedagogy in an undergraduate preservice teacher education program for Jewish women. The case describes how the assigned reading of Albarelli’s (2000) narrative ... -
In pursuit of a wild patience
(Routledge / Taylor & Francis, 2014)This essay explores how the concept of wild patience informs our practice of teaching and learning in classrooms and in teacher education; how it crafts imaginative spaces in curriculum design, implementation, and evaluation ... -
Jewish day school wounds and what we can do about them
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)This article is based upon a qualitative research study that examined 95 school stories written by Jewish female teacher candidates in an undergraduate education course. Many candidates wrote inspirational or humorous ... -
Teach like a human: The reality gap in educator preparation.
(The University of Chicago Press, 2016)This reflective essay examines educator preparation through the lens of Paul Kalanithi’s poignant memoir When Breath Becomes Air. Based on her work with preservice teacher candidates, the author questions the meaning of ... -
Emotions in charter school teaching: Three stories from year one
(LEARN (Canada), 2018)The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the experiences of two recent graduates from an undergraduate initial certification educator preparation program (EPP) who began their first year working for a charter school in ... -
Why good teachers matter
(Orthodox Union, 2019)Can we show respect to the discipline of education? Can we insist on formal contracts? Can we promote professionalism? I believe we can, if we start the conversation and begin to address these concerns. Let’s set a higher ... -
Teach like a human : essays for parents and teachers
(Rowan & Littlefield, 2020)¶Teach Like a Human: Essays for Parents and Teachers is a collection of essays focused on educating children to care about themselves, their communities, and the world we are privileged to share. Written for parents and ... -
“What am I missing?” Social information processing in remote learning
(Lookstein, 2021-06-01)Social Information Processing Theory postulated by J. B. Walther, examines how relationships are developed through computer mediated communication, devoid of non-verbal cues. His work focused mainly on computer mediated ... -
Ground-state energy distribution of disordered many-body quantum systems
(arXiv preprints, 2022-05-19)Extreme-value distributions are studied in the context of a broad range of problems, from the equilibrium properties of low-temperature disordered systems to the occurrence of natural disasters. Our focus here is on the ... -
Chaos enhancement in large-spin chains
(arXiv preprints, 2022-03-31)We study the chaotic properties of a large-spin XXZ chain with onsite disorder and a small number of excitations above the fully polarized state. We show that while the classical limit, which is reached for large spins, ... -
Interacting bosons in a triple well: Preface of many-body quantum chaos
(arXiv.org, 2021-11)Systems of interacting bosons in triple-well potentials are of significant theoretical and experimental interest. They are explored in contexts that range from quantum phase transitions and quantum dynamics to semiclassical ... -
Identification of quantum scars via phase-space localization measures
(arXiv preprint, 2021-07-14)There is no unique way to quantify the degree of delocalization of quantum states in unbounded continuous spaces. In this work, we explore a recently introduced localization measure that quantifies the portion of the ... -
Quantum-classical correspondence of a system of interacting bosons in a triple-well potential.
(2021-05-21)We study the quantum-classical correspondence of an experimentally accessible system of interacting bosons in a tilted triple-well potential. With the semiclassical analysis, we get a better understanding of the different ... -
Heating suppression by long-range interactions in periodically driven spin chains.
(arXiv preprint, 2021-05-20)We propose a mechanism to suppress heating in periodically driven many-body quantum systems by employing sufficiently long-range interactions and experimentally relevant initial conditions. The mechanism is robust to local ... -
Probing the edge between integrability and quantum chaos in interacting few-atom systems.
(arXiv preprint, 2021-04-27)Interacting quantum systems in the chaotic domain are at the core of various ongoing studies of many-body physics, ranging from the scrambling of quantum information to the onset of thermalization. We propose a minimum ... -
Thermalization time in many-body quantum systems.
(arXiv preprint, 2021-02-23)Isolated chaotic many-body quantum systems can reach thermal equilibrium, but it is not yet clear how long they take to do so. To answer this question, we use exact numerical methods and analyze the entire evolution, ... -
Ubiquitous quantum scarring does not prevent ergodicity.
(SpringerNature, 2021-02-08)In a classically chaotic system that is ergodic, any trajectory will be arbitrarily close to any point of the available phase space after a long time, filling it uniformly. Using Born’s rules to connect quantum states with ... -
The quick drive to pseudo-equilibrium.
(Nature Physics, 2021-01-04)- A clever application of nuclear magnetic resonance techniques offers a glimpse at a quantum system driven at high frequency, resulting in Floquet prethermalization — a quasi-steady state that persists for a very long time. -
How many particles make up a chaotic many-body quantum system?
(arXiv preprint arXiv:2012.14436, 2020-12-28)We numerically investigate the minimum number of interacting particles, which is required for the onset of strong chaos in quantum systems on a one-dimensional lattice with short-range and long-range interactions. We ... -
Experimental Detection of the Correlation R ́enyi Entropy in the Central Spin Model.
(2020-11)We propose and experimentally measure an entropy that quantifies the volume of correlations among qubits.The experiment is carried out on a nearly isolated quantum system composed of a central spin coupled and initially ...
