The science behind some mishnaic and talmudic passages
(Stern College for Women, Yeshiva University, 2023-04)There is much science in the Mishnah and Talmud and, without a proper background in the physical and natural sciences, earth science, mathematics and astronomy, the best the reader can do is to quickly gloss over the ... -
Scientific thoughts on specific Talmudic passages
(Yeshiva University Stern College for Women, 2019)As part of a daf yomi, each day the group studies one complete page of a specific tractate of the Talmud. The Talmud contains much science, including medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, and cosmology. ... -
Self-averaging behavior at the metal-insulator transition of many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium .
(2019-10)An observable of a disordered system is self-averaging when its properties do not depend on the specific realization considered. Lack of self-averaging, on the other hand, implies that sample to sample fluctuations persist ... -
Self-averaging in many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium.
(arXiv.org, 2019-06-27)Despite its importance to experiments, numerical simulations, and the development of theoretical models, self-averaging in many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium remains underinvestigated. Usually, in the chaotic ... -
Self-averaging in many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium: Approach to the localized phase.
(American Physical Society, 2020-09-23)The self-averaging behavior of interacting many-body quantum systems has been mostly studied at equilibrium. The present paper addresses what happens out of equilibrium, as the increase of the strength of on-site disorder ... -
Self-averaging in many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium: Chaotic systems.
(American Physical Society, 2020-05-26)Despite its importance to experiments, numerical simulations, and the development of theoretical models,self-averaging in many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium remains under investigated. Usually, in the chaotic ... -
Self-averaging in many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium: Time dependence of distributions.
(American Chemical Society, 2020-05-28)In a disordered system, a quantity is self-averaging when the ratio between its variance over disorder realizations and the square of its mean decreases as the system size increases. Here, we consider a chaotic disordered ... -
Sensitivity of quantum information to environment perturbations measured with a nonlocal out-of-time-order correlation function.
(American Physical Society, 2020-02-24)In a quantum system coupled with a non-Markovian environment, quantum information may flow out of or into the system. Measuring quantum information flow and its sensitivity to perturbations is important for a better ... -
Sensitivity of quantum information to environment perturbations measured with the out-of-time-order correlation function.
(arXiv.org, 2018-08-13)Measures to quantify the flow of quantum information and its sensitivity to environment perturbations are needed to better understand the evolution of open quantum systems and to distinguish non-Markovian from Markovian ... -
Signatures of chaos and thermalization in the dynamics of many-body quantum systems.
(arXiv.org, 2018-04-17)We extend the results of two of our papers [Phys. Rev. A 94, 041603R (2016) and Phys. Rev. B 97, 060303R (2018)] that touch upon the intimately connected topics of quantum chaos and thermalization. In the first, we argued ... -
Signatures of chaos and thermalization in the dynamics of many-body quantum systems.
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2019-03)We extend the results of two of our papers [Phys. Rev. A 94, 041603R (2016) and Phys. Rev. B 97, 060303R (2018)] that touch upon the intimately connected topics of quantum chaos and thermalization. In the first, we argued ... -
Small fish, watermelon, cucumber, leek,onion, and garlic
(Stern College for Women, Torah Activities Council (TAC), Yeshiva University, 2023)Food availability was a complaint of B’nei Yisrael when traveling through the desert. “We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt free of charge; the cucumbers and the melons (Rashi: watermelons), the leeks, the onions, ... -
Social categories as markers of intrinsic interpersonal obligations.
(SAGE Publications, 2013-06)Social categorization is an early-developing feature of human social cognition, yet the role that social categories play in how children understand and predict human behavior has been unclear. These studies test whether ... -
Speck of chaos.
(American Physical Society, 2020)It has been shown that, despite being local, a perturbation applied to a single site of the one-dimensional XXZ model is enough to bring this interacting integrable spin-1/2 system to the chaotic regime. Here, we show ... -
Strange, but true
(Office of the Dean, Stern College for Women, 2003)It is often stated that education in Torah must be a continual, life-long process. A child that terminates his/her Torah education at an early age remains with that minimum knowledge, which further lessens, throughout later ... -
Talmud Chullin: Some science behind the text
(Yeshiva University Stern College for Women, 2020)Every tractate in the Talmud has its own flavor, its own essence, and its own soul. The secular background needed to fully comprehend a tractate will depend on the overriding theme of that tractate. For example, one ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Teaching science to the Torah-observant student
(Stern College for Women, Yeshiva University, 1999)Graduation from an educational institution entails the successful completion of a more or less prescribed regimen of course work. As students have varied interests, aptitudes, and career goals, each course does not ... -
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 ...
