Random matrices, free probability and quantum information theory

Benoit Collins

PIRSA:13010115
Quantum Information
In quantum information theory, random techniques have proven to be very useful. For example, many questions related to the problem of the additivity of entropies of quantum channels rely on fine properties of concentration of measure. In this talk, I will show that very different techniques of random matrix theory can complement quite efficiently more classical random techniques. I will spend some time on discussing the Weingarten calculus approach, and the operator norm approach. Both techniques have been initially used in free probability theory, and I will give some new applications of these techniques to quantum information theory.
Searching for topological phases in transition metal oxide heterostructures

Condensed Matter
In this talk I will present our recent investigations on possible topological phases in (111) heterostructures of transition metal oxide. These (111) heterstructures are promising systems to realize many 2D topological phases at high temperatures, even with strong correlations, which is hard to be achieved in conventional materials. Several examples will be discussed, including high-temperature quantum spin hall effect in LaAlO3/LaAuO3/LaAlO3 bilayer, correlation induced topological phases in LaAlO3/LaNiO3/LaAlO3 multilayer, nearly flat topological band with C=2 (C: Chern number) in SrIrO3 trilayer, and abelian/nonabelian fractional quantum hall effects in the absence of Landau levels (fractional Chern insulators). If time is allowed, I will also briefly introduce our work on classifying wavefunctions of fractional Chern/topological insulators.

Hidden Structure in Linguistics: The Organization of Sound Systems

Elan Dresher

PIRSA:13010017

I will discuss some basic notions in the theory of phonology (sound systems in language). The sounds of a language are generally assumed to be composed of smaller constituents, called features. The features that make up a sound cannot be directly obtained from its pronunciation, but rather must be inferred from the system of contrasts that are at play in a particular language. How to determine which features are contrastive presents a logical and empirical puzzle that may be interesting to students of physics, who are accustomed to explaining observable events in terms of hidden structures that cannot be directly observed.

Quantum Fields and Strings
In this talk I investigate the "firewall argument", that claims that black hole horizons can not be smooth. Using a holographic model of the black hole horizon as a quantum mechanical membrane, I show how to recover the black hole interior as an emergent smooth region of space-time. The reconstruction makes use of the formalism of quantum error correcting codes. I explain why the horizon of very old black holes appears to be singular, and formulate a complementarity principle that resolves this firewall paradox.
