Thursday 3rd May: STP Seminar – “Black Holes, Stokes Flows & Transport at Strong Coupling”
Title: Black holes, Stokes flows and transport at strong coupling Speaker: Aristomenis Donos (U. Durham) Abstract: Certain strongly coupled materials, such as the cuprate superconductors exhibit fascinating, yet hard to explain transport properties. Holography provides a consistent framework to study the… Read More

Thursday 19th April: STP Seminar – “Non-equilibrium Dynamics in Isolated Quantum Systems”
Title: Non-equilibrium Dynamics in Isolated Quantum Systems Speaker: Masud Haque (NUI Maynooth) Abstract: Quantum many-body physics has traditionally focused on equilibrium properties and low-energy excitations. However, in recent years, motivated by novel experimental possibilities, the study of quantum matter far from… Read More

Tuesday 27th February: STP Seminar – “Anomalous Transport”
Title: Anomalous Transport Speaker: Karl Landsteiner (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) Abstract: The concept of symmetry is one cornerstone of modern theoretical physics, quantum mechanics is another. Sometimes they are incompatible with each other. These incompatibilities are called anomalies. They constrain possible… Read More
