Cosmology with Massive Neutrinos
Ghostly neutrino particles continue to bring surprises to fundamental physics, from their existence to the phenomenon of neutrino oscillation which implies that their masses are nonzero. Their exact masses, among...

Introduction to Machine Learning
Machine learning has led to recent advancements in image processing, language translation, finance, robotics, musical and visual arts, and medical diagnosis. In this session, we will explore how machine learning...

Ignorance is Cheap: From Black Hole Entropy To Energy-Minimizing States In QFT
Behind certain marginally trapped surfaces one can construct a geometry containing an extremal surface of equal, but not larger area. This construction underlies the Engelhardt-Wall proposal for explaining the Bekenstein-Hawking...

NMR simulation of topological phases
We will talk about recent progress in NMR technologies simulating topological phases. We will describe how states are prepared, how they are evolved in time and various tricks that we...

Toy Models of Holographic Duality between local Hamiltonians
Holographic quantum error correcting codes (HQECC) have been proposed as toy models for the AdS/CFT correspondence, and exhibit many of the features of the duality. HQECC give a mapping of...

Real-time dynamics of plasma balls in a confining background
Black holes in the background of the AdS soliton are, according to the gauge/gravity correspondence, dual to droplets of deconfined plasma surrounded by a confining vacuum. In this talk I...

Anna Golubeva earns Borealis AI fellowship
Perimeter PhD student Anna Golubeva has been named as one of 10 Borealis AI Fellows for her research in machine learning for physics and physics for machine learning. The fellowships...
3D Mirror Symmetry and HOMFLY-PT Homology
A recent construction of HOMFLY-PT knot homology by Oblomkov-Rozansky has its physical origin in “B-twisted” 3D N=4 gauge theory, with adjoint and fundamental matter. Mathematically, the construction uses certain categories...

Dimensionally Restricted Causal Sets
We study dimensionally restricted non-perturbative causal set quantum dynamics in two and three spacetime dimensions with non-trivial global spatial topology. The causal set sample space is generated from causal embeddings...

Hydrodynamics and (Pre)Thermalization in Floquet Systems
A tremendous amount of recent attention has focused on characterizing the dynamical properties of periodically driven many-body systems. Here, we use a novel numerical tool termed ‘density matrix truncation’ (DMT)...
