Forecasting the Unpredictable: earthquake science in a crowded world.

Schrödinger Theatre, Fitzgerald Building, School of Physics, Trinity College Dublin

Abstract From Zhang Heng’s earliest seismoscope, to Dubliner Robert Mallet’s experiments on Killiney Beach and observations of the 1857 Neapolitan earthquake, scientists have tried to understand earthquakes and use this understanding to reduce their effect. Still, earthquakes have... Read More

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
