Title: 'Classical Krylov probes and chaotic semiclassical strings' Speaker: Saskia Demulder (CUNEF) Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: Quantum chaos is a central theme in string theory, but classical chaos is also a generic feature of semiclassical string dynamics. Motivated by the need to explore the broad landscape of non-integrable string dynamics, I will introduce […] |

Title: From Volume as a Clock to Boundary Dynamics in JT Gravity Speaker: Farbod-Sayyed Rassouli (University of Nottingham) Venue&Time: 11:30 / Blue Room Abstract: Different notions of time arise from different choices of observer. In cosmological settings, a particularly natural choice is the spacetime volume, which is conjugate to the cosmological constant. This leads to […]

Title: ‘A diffuse flux of MeV ALPs’ Speaker: Marina Cermeño Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: MeV scale axion-like particles can be produced with semi-relativistic velocities in Galactic supernovae, leading to a diffuse flux that can be detectable in neutrino water-Cherenkov detectors (Super + HyperK). In this talk, I will explain the details of the […] |

Title: 'Polynomial-time thermalization and Gibbs sampling from system-bath couplings' Speaker: Sam Slezak (ENS Lyon) Venue&Time: Gray Room 3 / 11:30 Abstract: Many physical phenomena, including thermalization in open quantum systems and quantum Gibbs sampling, are modeled by Lindbladians approximating a system weakly coupled to a bath. Understanding the convergence speed of these Lindbladians to their […]

Venue&Time: Blue Room / 15:00 Coffee will be served in the cafeteria at 16:15h Title: 'Black holes, quantum entanglement, and the geometry of spacetime' Speaker: Matthew Headrick (Brandeis & IHES) Abstract: Black holes are by far the most entropic objects in the universe, and their enormous entropy directly connects the macroscopic world governed by general […] |

Strings, Pheno and the Swampland (SPS) Journal Club Title: Sharpened Dynamical Cobordism Speaker: Alejandro Javier Puga Gómez (IFT) Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: We propose a sharpened version of Dynamical Cobordism, where the physical structure ξ of the theory in question determines an allowed range Rξ for the critical exponent δ. We interpret a singularity with δ∈Rξ as a true transition-to-nothing, […]

Valeria Costa (IFT) will present: Cosmological Lower Bound on Heavy-Neutrino Masses, de B. W. Lee y S. Weinberg. Venue&Time: Blue Room / 17:00 Abstract: The present cosmic mass density of possible-stable neutral heavy leptons is calculated in a standard cosmological model. In order for this density not to exceed the upper limit of 2*10^-29 g/cm^3, […] |

Quantum Information Journal Club: ‘Onset of Ergodicity Across Scales on a Digital Quantum Processor’
Quantum Information Journal Club: ‘Onset of Ergodicity Across Scales on a Digital Quantum Processor’
Title: 'Onset of Ergodicity Across Scales on a Digital Quantum Processor' Speaker: Marcos Crichigno (Phasecraft) Venue & Time: Gray Room 3 / 11:30 Abstract: Boltzmann’s ergodic hypothesis lies at the foundation of classical statistical mechanics, yet its quantum counterpart remains far less understood. In this talk, I will discuss a quantum-information-theoretic measure of quantum ergodicity […] |

Title: Boundary entropy and entanglement phase transitions in holographic ICFTs Speaker: Evangelos Afxonidis (University of Oviedo) Venue&Time: 11:30 / Gray Room 3 Abstract: In 1+1 dimensional conformal field theory with a boundary, the boundary contribution to the entanglement entropy is encoded in a single number g, effectively counting the boundary degrees of freedom. In contrast, […]

Title: Revisiting Critical Higgs Inflation: CMB Observables, Electroweak Couplings, and Perturbative Unitarity Speaker: Sarah R. Geller (Yale U.) Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: An intriguing and economical possibility to explain many cosmological observations is Higgs inflation, in which inflation is driven by the Standard Model Higgs with a non-minimal coupling to gravity. I […] |
