Complementarity, Entanglement - and No End to Uncertainty

Meta-stable Supersymmetry Breaking Vacua in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
Yutaka Ookouchi - Kyushu University
I will talk about meta-stable supersymmetry breaking vacua in SQCD and Seiberg-Witten Theories. Also I will mention their string theory embeddings
(almost) Stable Islands in the Landscape
We will consider stability in the string theory landscape. A survey over several classes of flux vacua with different characteristics indicates that the vast majority of flux vacua with small cosmological constant are unstable to rapid decay to a big crunch. Only vacua with large compactification…
The Physics of Information: From Entanglement to Black Holes
Bob McDonald - CBC Corp. , Chris Fuchs - University of Massachusetts Boston , Leonard Susskind - Stanford University , Anthony Leggett - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign , Seth Lloyd - Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Center for Extreme Quantum Information Theory (xQIT)
Do ideas about information and reality inspire fruitful new approaches to the hardest problems of modern physics? What can we learn about the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, the beginning of the universe and our understanding of black holes by thinking about the very essence of information? The…
Warped String Phenomenology: Cosmology and Particle Physics
Bret Underwood - Pacific Lutheran University
Warped backgrounds in string theory are useful tools for building phenomenological models of early universe cosmology and particle physics. In particular, warped backgrounds play an important role in constructing viable models of brane inflation and can help explain the presence of hierarchies in…
The Spacetime Approach to Quantum Mechanics
The spacetime or histories approach is a whole attitude to quantum mechanics in which histories are fundamental rather than states. In this talk we will review a suggested dynamics and a suggested interpretation in this framework, phrasing the dynamics of stochastic collapse models in the histories…
Moment Problem and Homodyne Detection
Jukka Kiukas - Leibniz University Hannover
We describe the measurement statistics of the balanced homodyne detection scheme in terms of the moment operators of the associated positive operator measures. In particular, we give a mathematically rigorous proof for the fact that the high amplitude limit in the local oscillator leads to a…
Dark Matter and the Milky Way
Louis Strigari - Stanford University
With the discovery of many new satellite galaxies, in recent years our understanding of the Milky Way environment has undergone a dramatic transformation. I will discuss what these discoveries are telling us about galaxy formation and the nature of dark matter itself. Issues I will focus on include…
