Pulsar Timing Arrays: a new window into the gravitational-wave sky
Gabriela Sato-Polito - Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) - School of Natural Sciences (SNS)
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) consist of a set of regularly monitored millisecond pulsars with extremely stable rotational periods that are used as precise cosmic clocks. The arrival time of pulses can be altered by the passage of gravitational waves (GWs) between them and the Earth, thus serving as a… -
Kinematic Stratifications
Bernd Strumfels - Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences
This lecture discusses the stratification of regions in the space of real symmetric matrices. The points of these regions are Mandelstam matrices for momentum vectors in particle physics. The kinematic strata are indexed by signs and rank two matroids. Matroid strata of Lorentzian polynomials arise… -
Supporting neurodivergence and understanding neurodivergent ways of being (brought to PI by the Mental Health Working Group)
Helen Hargreaves
Helen Hargreaves, MSW, RSW will present a workshop for PI Residents, providing information on the basics of Emotion Theory, how to assess ones own needs and communicate them. This presentation will particularly focus on Autistic and other neurodivergent ways of experiencing emotions and stress and… -
Temperature-Resistant Order in 2+1 Dimensions
Fedor Popov - Stony Brook University
High temperatures are typically thought to increase disorder. Here we examine this idea in Quantum Field Theory in 2+1 dimensions. For this sake we explore a novel class of tractable models, consisting of nearly-mean-field scalars interacting with critical scalars. We identify UV-complete, local… -
Asymptotic symmetries and algebras: a review with emphasis on gravity
Marc Henneaux - College De France
A review of asymptotic (more generally, boundary) symmetries will be given in the context of the Hamiltonian formulation. General features (such as the form of the symmetry generators and the structure of the algebra) as well as specific examples will be covered. A particular attention will be paid… -
Decoding the cosmos
Hiranya Peiris - University of Cambridge
Cosmology is undergoing a data revolution. Surveys such as the imminent Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to be conducted by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will deliver huge galaxy catalogues that provide critical tools for understanding the nature of dark matter and dark energy. However, in… -
Entanglement Bootstrap, a perspective on quantum field theory
John McGreevy - University of California, San Diego
I will introduce the Entanglement Bootstrap, a program to extract and understand the universal information characterizing a state of matter, starting from the local entanglement structure of a single representative state. This universal information is usually packaged in the form of a quantum field… -
Radiation of Extreme Plasmas near the Neutron Stars and Black holes
Alexander Philippov - University of Maryland, College Park
Astrophysical compact objects, neutron stars, and black holes are powerful sources of non-thermal electromagnetic emission spanning many orders of magnitude in photon energy, from radio waves to multi-TeV gamma rays. Despite multiple groundbreaking observational discoveries done in recent years, our… -

Quantum Neurobiology
Travis Craddock - University of Waterloo
Quantum biology explores how phenomena like superposition, tunneling, and entanglement influence biological systems, with growing experimental evidence supporting their role in processes such as photosynthesis, enzymatic reactions, DNA mutations, and animal navigation. These discoveries have… -
Einstein Telescope: A look at the dawn of the Universe
Fernando Ferroni
Gravitational waves were detected in 2015 after 100 years of their prediction. Coalescence of black holes and neutron stars have been studied giving birth to a new way of studying our Universe. The coincidence of the gravitational signal with a gamma ray burst has been identified as the beginning of… -
Role of Atomic Structure Calculations: From Fundamental Physics to Technological Advancements
Bindiya Arora - Guru Nanak Dev University
Atomic structure calculations are critical for advancing fundamental physics and driving technological innovation. They provide essential data for experimental design and interpretation, especially when direct measurements are challenging. These calculations are pivotal in areas such as quantum…
