Seminar: Average-case quantum complexity from glassiness
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainSeminars_esSpeaker: Alexander Zlokapa (MIT) Venue & Time: Red Room / 11:30 Abstract: In the classical setting, glassiness characterizes many natural problems (e.g., random k-SAT) and underlies average-case hardness by obstructing a family of "stable" classical algorithms (e.g., constant-time Langevin dynamics). In this work, we develop analogous quantum results. Our techniques, based on quantum optimal transport, […]

SPS Journal Club: ‘Flux Backtracking and Decoupling of Scale Separated AdS Vacua’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubs_enSpeaker: Fien Apers (IFT) Venue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: I will explain how the flux backtracking method (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.03314) can be used to reconstruct the D-brane configuration whose near-horizon region realises the DGKT vacua. As an application, I will show how this reconstructed geometry allows one to verify whether the corresponding D-brane theory […]

Seminar: ‘Classical constant electric fields and the Schwinger effect in de Sitter’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainSeminars_esSpeaker: Roberto Vega-Morales Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: In this talk I will discuss constant classical electric fields and the Schwinger effect in de Sitter space, which has potential implications for magnetogenesis and inflationary dark matter production. I will first go through the conditions for sustaining a constant electric field in de Sitter space […]

Seminar: ‘Gravitational Lensing of Waves: a new window into cosmology and fundamental physics’
Scientific activities_enSpeaker: Miguel Zumalacárregui from Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute). Venue&Time: Red Room / 3:00 PM Abstract: Gravitational lensing, the bending of light by gravity, is essential for interpreting astronomical observations and provides key insight into astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. A new frontier in gravitational lensing intersects with another key prediction […]

Pheno Journal Club: ‘Is the Strong CP Problem Really a Problem?’
Gray Room 3 Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubs_enSpeaker: Giulio Barni (IFT) Venue & Time: 14:30 – 15:30 Abstract: The vanishingly small value of the QCD θ-angle inferred from neutron EDM bounds is usually taken as evidence for the Strong CP Problem, prompting a wide range of proposed solutions. In this talk, I will first review what the Strong CP Problem is: why […]

EDI Trainings: ‘Intersectionality. Reflection on identity, privilege and positioning in academia’
Blue Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) - C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainScientific activities_enSpeaker: Shannah Khan. Director of Intersect Madrid Venue & Time: Blue Room / 3:30 PM Abstract: This workshop offers a space for reflection and dialogue to explore how our personal identities, experiences, and social positions influence the way we participate in academic contexts. Through participatory activities, it seeks to foster a deeper understanding of intersectionality […]
