Integrating cold atoms with nanophotonics enables the exploration of new paradigms in quantum optics and many body physics. Advanced fabrication capabilities for low-loss dielectric materials provide powerful tools to engineer band structure and light-matter couplings between photons and atoms.

We study the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) in chaotic conformal field theories (CFTs) of arbitrary dimensions. Assuming local ETH, we compute the reduced density matrix of a ball-shaped subsystem of finite size in the infinite volume limit when the full system is an energy eigenstate.

Embryology at the beginning of the 21st century finds itself in a situation similar to neurobiology; the behavior of the component pieces is understood in some detail, but how they self-assemble to become life is still very hazy.

Abstract:  Artificial Intelligence/Machine learning has seen large growth and a number of successes over the past few years. In this talk I will describe some of the core ideas and algorithms along with corresponding results. We will start by thinking about intelligence in general.

Abstract:  New physics beyond the Standard Model may show up at the LHC in the form of boosted particles decaying hadronically, resulting in fat jets with unusual substructure.

I will review recent developments in the understanding of Lorentzian correlators in generic CFTs. I will then discuss two applications of these developments. The first one involves bounds on the OPE coefficients on the leading Regge trajectory. In theories with gravity duals, it constrains certain higher-derivative corrections to the Einstein ...

We explain recent ideas that led to rapid progress on the dynamics of gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions. 

We discuss gauge theories with matter particles in the fundamental as well as in the adjoint representations. We make predictions for new phases of these theories and explain some special cases where these predictions can be already...
