Quantum Information Journal Club: ‘Programming quantum matter made with light and atoms’
Gray Room 3 Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubs_esSpeaker: Cristian Tabares Venue & Time: 11:30 / Gray Room 3 Abstract: Current experimental quantum devices do not yet meet the requirements for building fault-tolerant quantum computers, but they can still be used to address many-body problems as analogue quantum simulators. Furthermore, recent experimental advances are enabling these simulators to operate in a programmable manner , […]

SPS Journal Club: ‘On the K-point in moduli space’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubs_enSpeaker: Alessandra Grieco (IFT) Venue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: We study a class of infinite-distance loci, referred to as K-points, in one-parameter complex-structure moduli spaces of type IIB string theory compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds. We show that around K-points the effective four-dimensional supergravity exhibits certain unusual properties. The two most prominent being […]

Seminar: ‘The Tolerable Inhomogeneity of the Baryon Asymmetry’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainSeminars_enSpeaker: Stefan Stelzl from EPFL, Lausanne Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: In this talk I present the implications of precision measurements of light element abundances in concordance with the Cosmic Microwave Background for scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model that generate large inhomogeneities in the baryon-to-photon ratio. We show that precision Big […]

Old Journal Club: ‘Field Theories with Superconductor Solutions’
Blue Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) - C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubs_enLorenzo Paoloni (IFT) will present :“Field Theories with Superconductor Solutions", Nuovo Cim. 19 (1961) 154–164 de J. Goldstone. Venue & Time: Blue Room / 17:00 Abstract: The conditions for the existence of non-perturbative type « superconductor » solutions of field theories are examined. A non-covariant canonical transformation method is used to find such solutions for […]

Joint Colloquium IFT + ICMAT: ‘Geometry of gauge theories in two dimensions’
Blue Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) - C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainColloquia_esJoint ICMAT-IFT Colloquium After the colloquium, the traditional “Farewell to the Year” party will take place in the CFTMAT cafeteria. Speaker: Oscar García-Prada (ICMAT-CSIC) Date: Friday, 12 December 2025 - 12:00 Place: Blue Room Abstract: I will describe several geometric aspects of different gauge theories on Riemann surfaces that originate in four-dimensional Yang–Mills theories. A common theme […]

Seminar: ‘Active Galactic Nuclei as Laboratories for Fundamental Physics’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainSeminars_enSpeaker: Gonzalo Herrera (MIT & Harvard) Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: The vicinity of supermassive black holes at the center of Galaxies represents one of the most extreme environments in the Universe. In Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), intense gravitational fields, relativistic particle acceleration, strong magnetic fields, and dense ambient gas and radiation coexist in conditions […]

Pheno Journal Club: ‘How large can lepton mixing be?’
Gray Room 3 Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubs_enSpeaker: Sergio Rodríguez Benítez (IFT) Venue & Time: Grey Room 3 / 15:00 Abstract: We show that, contrary to common expectations, the observed charged leptons can have a substantial mixing with new heavier fermions, at the level of 20%. This can happen, in the language of effective theories, when the effect of mixing with heavier […]
