STP Seminar – Dr. Maresa Rieder

Burlington Road

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

STP Seminar – Dr. Giacomo Guarnieri

Burlington Road

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

STP Seminar – Professor Yongmin Cho

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

STP Seminar – Dr. Alessandro Romito

Burlington Road

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...

STP Seminar – Dr. Steve Campbell

Burlington Road

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...
