As part of the Dublin Festival of History, we take look back to how Nobel Prize-winning Professor Schrödinger came to Dublin at the outbreak of World War II, and to his life in Ireland from 1930-1956. Join us... Read More
Speaker: Dr. Maresa Rieder Abstract: The topological phases of periodically driven, or Floquet systems, rely on a perfectly periodic modulation of system parameters in time. Even the smallest deviation from periodicity leads to decoherence, causing the boundary (end) states... Read More
Speaker: Dr. Giacomo Guarnieri Abstract: We investigate the fundamental trade-off between current fluctuations and entropy production for systems in non-equilibrium steady states (NESS). We use the technique of non-equilibrium statistical operators of McLennan/Zubarev form and illustrate how the... Read More
Speaker: Professor Yongmin Cho, Sogang University, Korea Abstract: The electroweak monopole in the standard model, the existence, characteristic features, cosmological production, and physical implications are discussed. The discovery of Higgs particle has been thought to be the 'final' test... Read More
Speaker:Dr. Alessandro Romito (Lancaster University) Title: Heat transfer from topologically protected dynamics of Majorana zero modes Abstract: Quantum systems can have degenerate ground states protected against local fluctuations with exponential accuracy in the system size due to topology (as...

Professor Tony Dorlas will describe some early contributions by Schrödinger, explain about quantum theory before quantum mechanics, and colour vision.
Luuk Coopmans will delve into the scientific breakthroughs that drive the technology sector today, which could not have become reality without the efforts of some brilliant minds. In this historical lecture he will describe the original thoughts of... Read More
Booking is required with Fiacre Ó Cairbre at (01) 708 3763. The walk commemorates Sir William Rowan Hamilton’s famous creation of a strange new number system, called Quaternions, on the banks of the Royal Canal in Dublin on... Read More
This Dark Matter Day, Professor Peter Coles of Maynooth University will present a talk in DIAS Burlington road titled "The Cosmic Web". The lecture will focus on the large scale structure of the Universe and the ideas that... Read More
Speaker: Dr. Steve Campbell (UCD) Title: Orthogonality Catastrophe as a Consequence of the Quantum Speed Limit Abstract: A remarkable feature of quantum many-body systems is the orthogonality catastrophe which describes their extensively growing sensitivity to local perturbations and plays an important...
