Strings, Pheno and the Swampland (SPS) Journal Club. Every Thursday at 12:00 in the Red Room. Bruno Bento (IFT) will present: 'Regge trajectories for UV completions of graviton scattering from polynomial boundedness' Venue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: We study graviton scattering amplitudes. Assuming they are UV completed by a theory of weakly […]
Every Thursday at 12:00 in Grey Room 2.
Title: Quantum computing for lattice gauge theories: from the Schwinger model to an SO(3) Quantum Link model Speaker: Bipasha Chakraborty (University of Southampton) Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: Quantum computing provides a promising framework for simulating strongly coupled gauge theories relevant to high-energy physics. In this talk, I will discuss quantum simulations of lattice […]
Title: Gravitational waves from phase transitions in the early Universe: sound waves and MHD turbulence Speaker: Alberto Roper Pol (Geneva) Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: Gravitational waves (GWs) can be produced by a first-order phase transition in the early Universe via the fluid perturbations induced in the primordial plasma by the expansion and collision […]
Title: 'Machine Learning in Astroparticle Physics' Speaker: Daniel Nieto Castaño (IPARCOS/UCM) Venue&Time: Gray Room 2 / 11:00 Abstract: This seminar presents the motivation for employing machine learning (ML) techniques to mitigate some experimental limitations within the field of astroparticle physics. We will briefly review selected applications across various detection domains, specifically addressing astrophysical neutrinos, cosmic […]
Title: Holographic transport in anisotropic systems Speaker: Claire Moran (Utrecht University) Venue&Time: Blue Room & Zoom / 11:30 Abstract: Understanding transport in strongly coupled quantum systems remains a central challenge across high-energy physics, condensed matter, and quantum many-body theory. Of particular interest is systems exhibiting anisotropy, where the anisotropy leads to a much richer transport […]

Title: 'Are string vacua connected?' Speaker: Ashoke Sen (ICTS-Infosys) Venue&Time: 11:00 / Blue Room Abstract: String theory has many vacua. We shall examine the question of whether these vacua are connected from an experimentalist's perspective. Ashoke Sen is the ICTS-Infosys Madhava Chair Professor at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, Bengaluru. His major honours include […]
Speaker: Enrico Calogero Domanti Title: "Symmetry-protected topology and deconfined solitons in a multi-link Z2 gauge theory" Venue&Time: Gray Room 3 / 11:30 Abstract: With the advent of quantum simulators, exploring exotic collective phenomena in lattice models with local symmetries and unconventional geometries is at reach of near-term experiments. Motivated by recent progress in this direction, […]
