Speaker: Alexander Zlokapa (MIT) Venue & Time: Red Room / 11:30 Abstract: In the classical setting, glassiness characterizes many natural problems (e.g., random k-SAT) and underlies average-case hardness by obstructing a family of "stable" classical algorithms (e.g., constant-time Langevin dynamics). In this work, we develop analogous quantum results. Our techniques, based on quantum optimal transport, […]

Speaker: Miguel Zumalacárregui from Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute). Venue&Time: Red Room / 3:00 PM Abstract: Gravitational lensing, the bending of light by gravity, is essential for interpreting astronomical observations and provides key insight into astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. A new frontier in gravitational lensing intersects with another key prediction […]

Speaker: Suraj Prakash, IFIC (Valencia) Venue&Time: Red Room / 3:00 PM Abstract: The talk will present a study of the sensitivity of COHERENT-like experiments to non-standard neutrino interactions within the vWEFT framework, i.e. low-energy EFT with additional right-handed Dirac neutrinos. Our analysis incorporates, for the first time, flavor-general New Physics effects in both neutrino production […]
