How To Catch Einstein's Wave, and See Black Holes in the Process

Gravitational waves are "ripples of space-time" that were predicted by Einstein's theory of General Relativity almost a century ago. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) now pushes the frontiers of science and engineering to try and catch these waves for the first time. This will allow us to explore the last dance of pairs of neutron stars colliding to give birth to a black hole and other astrophysical events in a way humans never have before. Dr. Gonzalez will describe how a worldwide community of scientists is working to open a new window to the Universe searching for Einstein's gravitational waves.

Advanced LIGO (aLIGO) and Advanced Virgo (AdV) are kilometer-scale gravitational wave (GW) detectors that are expected to yield the first direct observations of gravitational waves. I will describe the currently projected schedule, sensitivity, and sky localization accuracy for the GW detector network in the next decade.

Condensed Matter
We have used a recently proposed quantum Monte Carlo algorithm [1] to study spinons (emergent S = 1/2 excitations) in 2D Resonating-Valence-Bond (RVB) spin liquids and in a J-Q model hosting a Neel – Valence Bond Solid (VBS) phase transition at zero temperature [2]. We confirm that spinons are well defined quasi-particles with finite intrinsic size in the RVB spin liquid. The distance distribution between two spinons shows signatures of deconfinement.
However, at the Neel–VBS transition, we found that the size of a single spinon is significantly greater than the bound-state in VBS, which indicates that spinons are “soft” and shrink when bound state is formed. Both spinon size and confinement length diverge as the critical point is approached. We have also compared spinon statistics in J-Q model with bilayer Heisenberg model and 1D spin chain. We conclude that the spinon deconfinement is marginal in the lowest-energy state in the spin-1 sector, due to very weak attractive spinon interactions. Deconfinement in the vicinity of the critical point should occur at higher energies.
A positive and local formalism for quantum theory

Quantum Foundations
The general boundary formulation (GBF) is an atemporal, but spacetime local formulation of quantum theory. Usually it is presented in terms of the amplitude formalism, which, in the presence of a background time, recovers the pure state formalism of the standard formulation of quantum theory. After reviewing the essentials of the amplitude formalism I will introduce a new "positive formalism", which recovers instead a mixed state formalism. This allows to define general quantum operations within the GBF and opens it to quantum information theory. Moreover, the transition to the positive formalism eliminates operationally irrelevant structure, making the extraction of measurement probabilities more direct. As a consequence, the probability interpretation takes on a remarkably simple and compelling form. I shall describe implications of the positive formalism, both for our understanding of quantum theory and for the practical formulation of quantum theories. I also observe a certain convergence with Lucien Hardy's operator tensor formulation of quantum theory, on which I hope to comment
