No nus is good news
Daniel Green - University of California, San Diego
Cosmic surveys offer a unique window into fundamental physics, particularly the physics of light particles such as neutrinos. As a striking example, the recent results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) have placed surprisingly stringent constraints on the sum of neutrino masses… -
Deciphering Gravitational Wave Observations
Stephen Fairhurst - Cardiff University
Gravitational Waves emitted by colliding black holes were detected for the first time by LIGO in 2015. The subsequent observation of merging neutron stars in 2017, and its electromagnetic counterpart signal, attracted the attention of the astronomy community worldwide. Over two hundred gravitational… -
Classical Black Hole Scattering from a World-Line Quantum Field Theory - VIRTUAL
Jan Plefka - Humboldt University of Berlin
Predicting the outcome of scattering processes of elementary particles in colliders is the central achievement of relativistic quantum field theory applied to the fundamental (non-gravitational) interactions of nature. While the gravitational interactions are too minuscule to be observed in the… -
Deeptech Commercialization through Entrepreneurial Capabilities
Elicia Maine - Simon Fraser University (SFU)
Presented in collaboration with Navigating Quantum and AI Career Trajectories: A Beginner’s Mini-Course on Computational Methods and their Applications --- Deeptech or science-based innovations often spend more than a decade percolating within academic and government labs before their value is… -

Universal aspects of decohered and dissipative quantum many-body systems
Tarun Grover - University of California, San Diego
Ground states as well as Gibbs states of many-body quantum Hamiltonians have been studied extensively since the inception of quantum mechanics. In contrast, the landscape of many-body quantum states that are not in thermal equilibrium is relatively less explored. In this talk I will discuss some of… -
Swamplandish Predictions for our Universe
Cumrun Vafa - Harvard University
In this talk I show how simple ideas motivated from the Swampland program, lead to concrete predictions for our universe. These include predictions for particle physics and cosmology. I also discuss some experimental predictions for these ideas. --- Zoom link -
Realization and Characterization of Topological States on Quantum Processors
Frank Pollmann - Technical University of Munich (TUM)
The interplay of quantum fluctuations and interactions can yield novel quantum phases of matter with fascinating properties. Understanding the physics of such systems is a very challenging problem as it requires to solve quantum many body problems—which are generically exponentially hard to solve on…
