Pushing the frontiers of gravitational encounters and collisionless dynamics
The long range nature of gravity complicates the dynamics of self-gravitating many-body systems such as galaxies and dark matter (DM) halos. Relaxation/equilibration of perturbed galaxies and cold dark matter halos...

Learning in the quantum universe
I will present recent progress in building a rigorous theory to understand how scientists, machines, and future quantum computers could learn models of our quantum universe. The talk will begin...

First-principle approach to the superpositions of gravitational fields in atom interferometry
Understanding the fundamental nature of gravity at the interface with quantum theory is a major open question in theoretical physics. Recent progress in experiments has enabled probing the interaction of...

New ALP probes from light meson decays
Rare meson decays are among the most sensitive probes of both heavy and light new physics. Among them, new physics searches using kaons and pions benefit from their small total...

Causality and Ideal Measurements of Smeared Fields in Quantum Field Theory
The usual quantum mechanical description of measurements, unitary kicks, and other local operations has the potential to produce pathological causality violations in the relativistic setting of quantum field theory (QFT)...

The Future of Numerical Relativity: Gravitational Memory, BMS Frames, and More
As was realized by Bondi, Metzner, van der Burg, and Sachs (BMS), the symmetry group of asymptotic infinity is not the Poincaré group, but an infinite-dimensional group called the BMS...

Entanglement features of random neural network quantum states
Neural networks offer a novel approach to represent wave functions for solving quantum many-body problems. But what kinds of quantum states are efficiently represented by neural networks? In this talk...

An operator-algebraic formulation of self-testing
We give a new definition of self-testing for correlations in terms of states on C*-algebras. We show that this definition is equivalent to the standard definition for any class of...

Toys can't play: physical agents in Spekkens' theory
Information is physical, and for a physical theory to be universal, it should model observers as physical systems, with concrete memories where they store the information acquired through experiments and...

Bootstrapping N = 4 sYM correlators using integrability
In this talk we combine integrability and conformal bootstrap to learn about correlation functions of planar maximally supersymmetric Yang- Mills theory. Focusing on correlators of four stress-tensor multiplets, we first...
