PIRSA:12110047

Quantum Fields and Strings

I will discuss recent progress in the study of anomaly-induced transport, focusing on the chiral vortical effect in 3+1 dimensions. Most of my discussion will be framed in light of a larger story, namely progress in making exact statements about finite-temperature quantum field theory, for which the chiral magnetic and vortical effects are instructive prototypes.

Particle Physics

Light third generation superpartners are one way to avoid bounds on new physics from the early LHC. We will review the theory and phenomenology of light stops and highlight a particular UV model based a partially composite electroweak sector through Seiberg duality.
Recent progress on de Sitter S-matrix

PIRSA:12110043

Cosmology

The de Sitter S-matrix provides a gauge-invariant and field redefinition-invariant window into de Sitter QFTs and may provide a crucial entry in any dS/CFT dictionary. In this talk I will summarize recent progress on developing the S-matrix for theories with gauge fields and perturbative gravity. Nonrenormalization theorems, hints of supersymmetry, and perturbative stability will be discussed.

Geometric algebra techniques in flux compactifications

PIRSA:12110058

Mathematical physics

Using techniques originating in a certain approach to Clifford bundles known as "geometric algebra", I discuss a geometric reformulation of constrained generalized Killing spinor equations which proves to be particularly effective in the study and classification of supersymmetric flux compactifications of string and M-theory. As an application, I discuss the most general N=2 compactifications of M-theory to three dimensions, which were never studied in full generality before. I also touch upon the connection of such techniques with a certain variant of the quantization of spin systems.
Dynamical evaporation of quantum horizons

November 08, 2012

PIRSA:12110064

Quantum Gravity

We describe of the evaporation process as driven by the dynamical evolution of the quantum gravitational degrees of freedom resident at the horizon, as identified by the Loop Quantum Gravity kinematics. Using a parallel with the Brownian motion, we interpret the first law of quantum dynamical horizon in terms of a fluctuation-dissipation relation applied to this fundamental discrete structure. In this way, the horizon evolution is described in terms of relaxation to an equilibrium state balanced by the excitation of Planck scale constituents of the horizon. We show how from this setting the emergence of several conservative scenarios for the final stage of the evaporation process can be microscopically derived. Namely, the leakage of part of the horizon quantum geometry information prior to the Planckian phase and the stabilization of the hole surface shrinkage forming a massive remnant, which can eventually decay, are shown to take place.

Optimal quantum self-tests based on binary nonlocal XOR games

November 07, 2012

PIRSA:12110067

Self-testing a multipartite quantum state means verifying the existence of the state based on the outcomes of unknown or untrusted measurements. This concept is important in device-independent quantum cryptography. There are some previously known results on self-testing which involve nonlocal binary XOR games such as the CHSH test and the GHZ paradox. In our work we expand on these results. We provide a general criterion which, when satisfied, guarantees that a given nonlocal binary XOR game is a robust self-test. The error term in this result is quadratic, which is the best possible. In my talk I will explain the conceptual basis for the criterion and offer some examples. This is joint work with Yaoyun Shi (arXiv:1207.1819).
An introduction to quantum channels and their capacities

Quantum Information

A quantum communication channel can be put to many uses: it can transmit classical information, private classical information, or quantum information. It can be used alone, with shared entanglement, or together with other channels. For each of these settings there is a capacity that quantifies a channel's fundamental potential for communication. In this introductory talk, I will discuss what we known about the various capacities of a quantum channel, including a discussion of synergies between different channels and related additivity questions.
