Spin Systems as Toy Models for Emergent Gravity
Speaker(s): Fotini Markopoulou
Abstract: A number of recent proposals for a quantum theory of gravity are based on the idea that spacetime geometry and gravity are derivative concepts and only apply at an approximate level. Two fundamental challenges to any such approach are, at the conceptual level, the role of time in the emergent contex... read more

Creating Spacetime
Speaker(s): Fotini Markopoulou
Abstract: Our understanding of the physical world at the most fundamental level is based on two theories: quantum theory and general relativity. They are impressively successful but only when each is considered on its own. In situations where both play a role, we are reduced to puzzles and absurdity. Hence th... read more

Quantum graphity: a model of emergent locality in quantum gravity
Speaker(s): Fotini Markopoulou
Abstract: Quantum graphity is a background independent condensed matter model for emergent locality, spatial geometry and matter in quantum gravity. The states of the system are given by bosonic degrees of freedom on a dynamical graph on N vertices. At high energy, the graph is the complete graph on N vertice... read more
