Open EFT's and Gravity as a Medium
This event is meant to study the connections between quantum fields in curved spacetimes with horizons and the effective field theory methods as applied to open systems (Open EFTs). In...

Indefinite Causal Structure
There has been a surge of interest in indefinite causal structure, the idea that cause and effect can no longer be sharply distinguished. Motivated both by experimentation with quantum switches...

Career Trajectories Day
What can you do with a Physics degree? Plenty—although the reality is that most people being trained in physics at the undergraduate, graduate, or even postdoctoral levels aren’t aware of...

Elliptic Cohomology and Physics
Equivariant elliptic cohomology is a rapidly evolving field, with wideranging applications including in quantum field theory, geometric representation theory, integrable systems, singularity theory, combinatorial representation theory, homotopy theory, and group...

Observers in Quantum and Foil Theories
Foil theories sometimes called mathematically rigorous science fiction describe ways the world could have been were it not quantum mechanical. Our understanding of quantum theory has been deepened by contrasting...

Symmetry, Phases of Matter, and Resources in Quantum Computing
Our conference covers three related subjects: quantum fault-tolerance, magic states and resource theories, and quantum computational phases of matter. The linking elements between them are (a) on the phenomenological side...

Algorithmic Information, Induction and Observers in Physics
Our universe is of astonishing simplicity: almost all physical observations can in principle be described by a few theories that have short mathematical descriptions. But there is a field of...

Everpresent Lambda: Theory Meets Observations
One of the biggest mysteries in cosmology and fundamental physics is the nature of dark energy that is responsible for the current acceleration of cosmic expansion. While a cosmological constant...

Gravitational Waves Outside the Boxes
With the era of gravitational wave astronomy started, and a rapid increase in sensitivity and frequency bands, unprecedented opportunities to unravel long-standing questions as well as new opportunities open up...

Searching for New Particles with Black Hole Superradiance
Black hole superradiance is a fascinating process in general relativity and a unique window on ultralight particles beyond the standard model. Bosons -- such as axions and dark photons --...
