Brian Dolan (Maynooth University)

Title: Revisiting the CTP Theorem: the Quaternion Group and DiscreteSymmetries of the Lorentz Group Abstract: Parity and time reversal, P and T, generate a discrete sub-group of the Lorentz group. Depending on the choice of phases in the… Read More

Wojciech De Roeck (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven)

Title: Many-Body Localization Abstract: I will discuss the state of affairs on the topic of many-body localization (MBL).  For the sake of this talk, MBL is defined as a robust absence of transport in many-body systems at thermodynamic… Read More

Title: Novel (Quantum) Computational Methods for Quantum Field Theories Abstract: Novel (Quantum) Computational Methods for Quantum Field Theories I will discuss novel approaches for the task of finding a solution to a quantum field theoretical problem, e.g. tunnelling,… Read More

Quantum Transport and Eigenstate Thermalisation

Speaker: John Goold (Trinity College Dublin)
Time: Thursday 29 October, 2:30pm

John Goold (Trinity College Dublin)

Title: Quantum Transport and Eigenstate Thermalisation Abstract: How irreversible thermodynamics emerges from the unitary dynamics of the Schrödinger equation is a question that has been asked since the inception of quantum theory itself.  One modern take on the… Read More

Differential Cohomology and Topological Actions

Speaker: Ben Gripaios (University of Cambridge)
Time: Wednesday 28 October, 2:30pm

Ben Gripaios (University of Cambridge)

Title: Differential cohomology and topological actions Abstract: In this talk, aimed at a general audience, I discuss how topological actions for quantum field theories can be both constructed and classified by a mathematical gadget known as differential cohomology… Read More
