Title: Bubble Nucleation from Boson Star Collapse Speaker: Kateryna Radchenko Serdula (IFT) will present "Bubble Nucleation from Boson Star Collapse", 2511.21826 Venue&Time: Gray Room 2 / 12:00 Abstract: We present a new classical mechanism for nucleation of bubbles of true vacuum. The mechanism arises when dense boson stars form in the false vacuum. As the […]

Mikel Martin (IFT) will present "Large scale perturbations in the open universe", by  D. H.  Lyth, &  A. Woszczyna, Venue&Time: Blue Room / 17:00 Abstract: When considering perturbations in an open (Omega<1) universe, cosmologists retain only sub-curvature modes (defined as eigenfunctions of the Laplacian whose eigenvalue is less than -1 in units of the curvature […]

Speaker: Pablo Viñas Martínez (IFT) Títle: 'Efficient Characterisation of Quantum Information Processors' Venue&Time: Gray Room 1 / 11:30 Abstract: "The precise characterisation and benchmarking of quantum information processors (QIPs) is essential for the development of quantum technologies. From the engineering of low-error physical components to the design of physically informed decoding strategies in quantum error […]

Speaker: José Garre Rubio Títle: 'Some Properties of Local One-Dimensional Hamiltonians' Venue&Time: Gray Room 1 / 11:30 Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss several properties of local Hamiltonians associated with the W state and matrix product states (MPS). I will begin by showing that the W state cannot be the unique ground state of […]
