Constructing new solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

Speaker: Ana Lucia Retore (Trinity College Dublin)
Time: Thursday 17 February 2022, 2:30pm

Ana Lucia Retore (Trinity College Dublin)

Title: Constructing new solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation Abstract: Some theories have, in addition to momentum and energy, higher conserved charges. These theories are said to be integrable and can be exactly solved. Examples are the Kepler problem, Hubbard… Read More

Time: Thursday 3 February 2022, 2:30pm

A.P. Balachandran (Syracuse University)

Title: Spin 1/2 from Colour and a Little More Abstract: The theta vacuum in QCD is the standard vacuum, twisted by the exponential of the Chern-Simons term. But what is the quantum operator U(g) for winding number 1?… Read More

Beyond quantum computing: the physics of hybrid quantum systems

Speaker: Chiara Marletto (University of Oxford)
Time: Thursday 27 January 2022, 2:30pm

Chiara Marletto (University of Oxford)

Title: Beyond quantum computing: the physics of hybrid quantum systems Abstract: The theory of the universal quantum computer has brought us rapid technological developments, together with remarkable improvements in how we understand quantum theory. There are, however, reasons… Read More
