Jaume Gomis wins CAP-CRM Prize
Perimeter Faculty member Jaume Gomis has been awarded this year’s CAP-CRM Prize for Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. The prize, awarded by the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) and the Centre...
Notes on Rapid AI Progress
In this talk I'll try to summarize why AI is making such rapid progress and why I expect that it will continue, leading to enormous impacts on pretty much everything...

Phenomenological thermodynamics with multiple quantities of interest
Joint work (in progress) with Ladina Hausmann, Nuriya Nurgalieva and Renato Renner We can classify contemporary approaches to thermodynamics in roughly four camps: (1) Top-down microscopic approaches. These are for...

Keep calm and carry on researching
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can, Sarah Shandera has discovered, be wasted. As a woman in what is largely a male game, the theoretical physicist has...
Cosmological Signatures of Interacting Dark Sectors
Models of dark sectors with a mass threshold can have important cosmological signatures. If, in the era prior to recombination, a relativistic species becomes non-relativistic and is then depopulated in...

Quantum Gravity Demystified
One fruitful strategy of tackling quantum gravity is to adapt quantum field theory to the situation where spacetime geometry is dynamical, and to implement diffeomorphism symmetry in a way that...
