Title: The electroweak monopole: the theory behind it, properties and its relevance in cosmology Speaker: Professor Yongmin Cho (Sogang University, Korea) Abstract: The electroweak monopole in the standard model, the existence, characteristic features, cosmological production, and physical implications… Read More

What is Life?’ lecture series returns to Dublin after 75 years

The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) has announced details of a public lecture series exploring the famous question – ‘What is Life?’ – which was famously considered by Professor Erwin Schrödinger in 1943. An expert from each… Read More

Tuesday 26th February: STP Seminar – “Thermodynamics of precision in quantum non-equilibrium steady states”

Title: “Thermodynamics of precision in quantum non-equilibrium steady states” Speaker: Dr. Giacomo Guarnieri (TCD) 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… Read More

Thursday 7th February: STP Seminar – “Localization Counteracts Decoherence in Noisy Floquet Topological Chains”

Title: “Localization Counteracts Decoherence in Noisy Floquet Topological Chains” Speaker: Maresa Rieder (formerly Weizmann Institute) Abstract: The topological phases of periodically driven, or Floquet systems, rely on a perfectly periodic modulation of system parameters in time. Even the… Read More

Thursday 3rd May: STP Seminar – “Black Holes, Stokes Flows & Transport at Strong Coupling”

Title: Black holes, Stokes flows and transport at strong coupling Speaker: Aristomenis Donos (U. Durham) Abstract: Certain strongly coupled materials, such as the cuprate superconductors exhibit fascinating, yet hard to explain transport properties. Holography provides a consistent framework to study the… Read More

Thursday 19th April: STP Seminar – “Non-equilibrium Dynamics in Isolated Quantum Systems”

Title: Non-equilibrium Dynamics in Isolated Quantum Systems Speaker: Masud Haque (NUI Maynooth) Abstract: Quantum many-body physics has traditionally focused on equilibrium properties and low-energy excitations. However, in recent years, motivated by novel experimental possibilities, the study of quantum matter far from… Read More
