Rebooting Canonical Quantum gravity
In this talk, we present a new outlook on canonical quantum gravity and its coupling to matter. We will show how this fresh perspective combines the critical elements of holography...

Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene at charge neutrality: interactions and disorder
Stacking two graphene layers twisted by the ‘magic angle’ 1.1º generates flat energy bands, which in turn catalyzes various strongly correlated phenomena depending on filling and sample details. While this...

Searching for New Physics Across the Spectra
Theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics often predict new, light, feebly interacting particles whose discovery requires novel search strategies. A light particle, the QCD axion, elegantly solves the...

The Second Mission of Supersymmetry: Miracles in Uncharted Waters
In our four-dimensional world supersymmetry is the only extension of the classical Poincaré invariance which laid the foundation of modern physics in the beginning of the 20th century. Supersymmetry, a...

Geometry and 5d N=1 QFTs
I will explain that a geometric theory built upon the theory of complex surfaces can be used to understand wide variety of phenomena in five-dimensional supersymmetric theories, which includes the...

Fundamental Constraints for Fundamental Theories
As our understanding of the universe and its fundamental building blocks extends to shorter and shorter distances, experiments capable of probing these scales are becoming increasingly difficult to construct. Fundamental...

Area law of non-critical ground states in 1D long-range interacting systems
The area law for entanglement provides one of the most important connections between information theory and quantum many-body physics. It is not only related to the universality of quantum phases...

Leonard Elschenbroich, cello with Alexei Grynyuk, piano
No other composer has left behind a legacy greater than Beethoven. Beethoven is everywhere - a global artist whose name needs no introduction and whose language requires no translation. In...

Holomorphic-topological twists and TFT
I'll explain the TFT perspective on holomorphic-topological twists of 3d N=4 and 4d N=2 theories, and outline some connections between the topics discussed in Justin and Davide's previous lectures, and...
