Postdoctoral Position at IFT on Holography and Quantum Information Theory

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in theoretical physics at IFT Madrid, starting in the Fall of 2022. The appointment will be for two years, with an extension for another year contingent on satisfactory performance and availability of funding.

35 new spacetime quakes detected by Virgo and LIGO

35 new events detected by LIGO and Virgo in their latest observation period bring to 90 the gravitational waves detected so far. These events are spacetime quakes generated by the mergers of either two black holes or neutron stars, or  black hole-neutron star pairs.

Graham Ross

The Institute of Theoretical Physics IFT is greatly saddened by the passing of Prof. Graham Ross of Oxford, yesterday October 31. He was a great physicist who did important work in the Standard Model of Particle Physics, such as the prediction of gluon jets in e+ e- colliders.

Los diferentes estados de la materia en nuestro universo, por Sebastian Grieninger, en el Blog de Madri+d

Cuando se le pregunta sobre los estados de la materia, la mayoría de la gente tiene la impresión de que solo hay tres estados de la materia: sólido, líquido y gaseoso, pues estos son los tres estados que observamos en nuestra vida diaria.
