"Searching for Dark Matter in the Milky Way"

FPO - Fedor Popov - "New Developments in Vector, Matrix and Tensor Quantum Field Theories"

FPO - Fedor Popov - "New Developments in Vector, Matrix and Tensor Quantum Field Theories"
Tue, Jul 20, 2021, 11:00 am
This thesis is devoted to studies of quantum field theories with dynamical fields in the vector, matrix or tensor representations of O(N) symmetry groups. These models provide interesting classes of exactly solvable models that can be examined in detail and give insights into the properties of other, more complicated quantum field theories.

FPO - Javier Roulet - "The Binary Black Holes of LIGO and Virgo"

FPO - Javier Roulet - "The Binary Black Holes of LIGO and Virgo"
Fri, Jul 16, 2021, 2:00 pm

Over the last six years, the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors have revolutionized gravitational wave astronomy by discovering the first compact binary mergers. There is much to learn about how these systems form in nature, and these discoveries have allowed to start characterizing the astrophysical population of binary black holes....

FPO - Elmer Guardado-Sanchez - "Exploring many-body quantum dynamics with Rydberg-dressed fermions and tilted Hubbard systems"
Fri, Jul 16, 2021, 1:00 pm

Ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices are an ideal platform for studying quantum many-body physics. The long timescales and isolated nature of these systems makes them particularly suited for exploring the dynamics of nearly closed quantum systems and their relaxation towards thermal equilibrium.

FPO - Ziming Ji - "Non-Archimedean and Non-local Physics”

FPO - Ziming Ji - "Non-Archimedean and Non-local Physics”
Thu, Jul 8, 2021, 10:00 am

Physics defined on real manifolds and equipped with locality has achieved many successes theoretically as well as in describing our universe. Nevertheless, from a mathematical point of view, it is not as privileged. This thesis explores the possibility of non-Archimedean and non-local physics by studying a range of discrete and continuous...

Condensed Matter Zoom Seminar | Srinivas Raghu, Stanford | "Lattice constructions of a web of dualities in 3 spacetime dimensions"
Wed, May 26, 2021, 2:00 pm

Duality transformations have played a major role in our modern understanding of quantum phenomena.  In 3 spacetime dimensions, familiar examples of duality transformations include 1) Goldstone modes of the XY model being dual to a photon, and 2) dualities involving statistical transmutation.  It has become clear recently that both of these...

Real world phenomenon are inherently nonlinear and complex in a way that usually cannot be understood from first principle. Yet intelligence behaviors appear in biological systems, which are shaped by billions years of evolution, to solve natural challenges.

In this thesis we study N = 6 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in three dimensions. Such theories are highly constrained by supersymmetry, allowing many quantities to be computed exactly.
