Title: 'Optimal strategies for near-term simulation of fermionic systems with scalable local fermion-to-qubit mappings' Speaker: Manuel G. Algaba Venue&Time: Gray Room 3 / 11:30 Abstract: Quantum simulation of interacting fermions remains one of the most compelling applications of quantum computing, but its practical realization depends on more than the asymptotic promise of fault-tolerant quantum algorithms. […]

Title: 'Generalised anomalies, QCD, and holography' Speaker: Mohammad Akhond (Dipartimento di Fisica & INFN, Università di Roma  “Tor Vergata”) Venue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: During the last decade, the notion of an 't Hooft anomaly has been generalised to the case of discrete symmetries. An interesting instance, discussed by Tanizaki, is the […]

Strings, Pheno and the Swampland (SPS) Journal Club Title: Heterotic Ouroboros Speaker: Chiara Altavista (IFT) Venue&Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: M-theory on {\mathbf{S}}^1\vee{\mathbf{S}}^1 has recently been proposed to yield, via quotients, ten-dimensional non-supersymmetric string theories. We revisit the construction that leads to the heterotic theories, finding a consistent set of rules that reproduces the […]
