Sergio Rodríguez (IFT) will present "Threshold production of heavy top quarks: QCD and the Higgs boson" by Matthew J. Strassler and Michael E. Peskin. Abstract:  We calculate the threshold cross section for 𝑒+𝑒−→tt¯ to leading-logarithmic order in QCD, using a nonrelativistic approximation suggested by Fadin and Khoze. We study the mass range 100≤𝑚𝑡≤250 GeV, and show […]

Yuber Perez-Gonzalez (IFT) will present: 'The Cosmic Neutrino Background is within Reach of Future Neutrino Telescopes' Venue & Time: Gray Room 3 / 12:00 Abstract: The cosmic neutrino background (CνB) can be boosted to high energies due to scatterings with energetic cosmic rays (CRs) across cosmological scales. Previous calculations focused on neutral current incoherent and […]

Léo Veissière (IFT) will present: 'Hilltop quintessence, the LARGE Volume Scenario and varying-tension cosmic strings' Venue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 Recent observational data suggests that the dark energy equation of state parameter wDE is evolving with time, in apparent tension with the ΛCDM standard model of cosmology. Here we review these observational results, […]

Speaker: Yichao Fu (GIST) Title: Toward Krylov-based holography in double-scaled SYK Venue & Time: Gray Room 3 / 11:30 Abstract: Building on the duality between Krylov complexity and geodesic length in Jackiw-Teitelboim and sine-dilaton gravity, we develop a precise holographic dictionary for quantities in the Krylov subspace of the double-scaled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model (DSSYK). First, we […]

Date: Wednesday, February 18 Aula Gris 2 / 11:30 Speaker: Daniel Molpeceres (TU Munich) Título: Quantum Algorithms Based on Cooling Abstract: The purpose of this work is to study different methods for nature-inspired algorithmic cooling of physical systems, which rely on energy transfer between the system and a cool bath. These algorithms are suitable for […]
