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 […]

Every Thursday at 12:00 in Grey Room 3.

Every Tuesday at 2:00 PM in the discussion room on the 5th floor. Join the IFT cosmology/gravity journal club at benty-fields.com to vote for papers and volunteer to present them.  

Speaker: Marta Florido Llinás (MPQ) Title: 'Generalizing the framework of translationally invariant MPS' Abstract: In this talk I will present our recent work on developing a canonical form for uniform matrix product states (MPS) with a boundary matrix (https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2512.11968). Starting from the standard canonical description of uniform MPS with periodic boundary conditions, I will explain […]

Strings, Pheno and the Swampland Journal Club (SPS) Speaker: Michelangelo Tartaglia (IFT) Title: 'Anomaly-induced vanishing of brane partition functions' Abstract: In the presence of 't Hooft anomalies, backgrounds for the symmetries of a quantum field theory can lead to non-conservation of Noether currents, or more generally, to the presence of charged insertions in the path […]
