Postdoc 2020 Welcome
COVID-19 has forced the world to shift on its axis. During normal times, there would have been an opportunity for new postdocs to meet in person with existing research, new...

Online School on Ultra Quantum Matter
Quantum mechanics is well established as the correct and successful theory of the dynamics of electrons, atoms, and photons. Yet since its inception, its non-intuitive features – superposition, entanglement, and...

Area law, topological quantum field theory, and the quantum marginal problem
Many physical states of interest, such as ground states of gapped quantum many-body systems, are expected to obey an area law of entanglement entropy. I will report on a series...

Approaches to Scattering in Quantum Gravity and Gauge Theory from Symmetry
The problem of quantum gravity -- i.e. to determine the microscopic structure underlying quantum mechanical theories that reproduce general relativity at long distances -- is a major outstanding problem in...

Quantum Gravity 2020
The conference “Quantum Gravity 2020" has a deliberately broad scope. We aim to include participants from all current approaches to quantum gravity, as well as researchers working on the phenomenology...

Binary Mergers in Tertiary-induced Channel
The detections of gravitational waves (GWs) from merging binary black holes (BHs) have motivated many studies on the dynamical formation of such compact black hole binaries (BHBs). Recent works have...

Geometric Representation Theory
Representation theory (i.e., the study of linear actions of Lie groups, algebraic groups, Lie algebras, and finite groups) investigates the classification representations, their internal structure, as well as the structure...

New routes to topological order: Toric code order in Rydberg atoms and fractional Chern insulators in moire materials
Despite decades of theoretical work, the physical realization of topological order, outside of the fractional quantum Hall effect, has proved to be an elusive goal. Even the simplest example of...

Time comes first: Cortês and Smolin win cosmology prize
The Buchalter Cosmology Prize has been awarded to Perimeter Institute Faculty member Lee Smolin and Marina Cortês (University of Edinburgh) for their work on causality and time. Two additional Perimeter...
Path to Kilohertz Gravitational-Wave Astronomy
We are entering an exponentially growing phase of gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy, excitingly represented by the Nobel Prize in Physics last year - only two years after the first detection. The...
