Prof. Dr. Juan Carrasquilla Alvarez – Associate Professor at D-PHYS, ETH Zurich In this talk, I will discuss our work on using models inspired by natural language processing in the realm of quantum many-body physics. I will demonstrate their utility in solving ground states of quantum Hamiltonians, particularly for ground states of arrays of Rydberg…

Dr. Johannes Brödel – Senior Scientist at D-PHYS, ETH Zurich While there are still numerous mathematical challenges for particle physicists when calculating scattering amplitudes for the explanation and confirmation of results measured at modern particle accelerators, the theoretical development of quantum field theory and even more string theory seems to be on hold: low-hanging fruits…

Prof. Dr. Nicolò Defenu – Assistant Professor at ETH Zurich Dive into the fascinating realm of quantum systems, the seminar will offer a panoramic view of long-range interactions. Starting with a encompassing tour of critical phenomena in systems featuring power-law interactions 1/r^α at α < d, we’ll unveil the intricate equilibrium scaling dependence on the…

Dr. Davide Racco – Postdoc at ETH and UZH In 2015, the first observations of the gravitational waves emitted by the merger of two black holes occurred 1.4 billion years ago, marked the first direct measurement of these spacetime ripples, and the beginning of the gravitational wave astronomy era. The measurements of the network of…

Prof. Dr. Ramona Wolf – Junior Professor at University of Siegen (Germany) Can you define the term “randomness”? Do you think you know the difference between a classical and a quantum random number generator? Given the fundamental quantum nature of our universe, what even is a classical random number generator? Randomness is an idea that…

Karin Sim – PhD student at ETH Out of equilibrium systems are gaining increasing attention in the physics community due to their novel properties compared to their staticcounterpart. In particular, quantum quench is an established method to probe various aspects of out of equilibrium physics, both theoretically and experimentally. In this talk, I will present…

Alessandro Tarantola – PhD student at ETH Have you ever wondered where “generalized eigenstates” live, if not in the Hilbert space? Do you often feel uncomfortable exchanging sums and integrals? Are you uneasy if you think something is ill-defined? If so, mathematical physics might be just right for you!This talk will be meant to familiarize…

Sébastien Garmier – PhD student in QIT group (Prof. Renato Renner) at ETH Abstract Any observer performing a measurement does so relative to a physical system serving as a reference frame, which, when treated quantum-mechanically, leads to the notion of quantum reference frames. Starting with the points of view of such observers and using an…

Dr. Achilleas Lazopoulos – Senior Scientist at the Particle Physics group of ITP, ETHZ Abstract Our quest for an ultimate theory of elementary particles is taking a new turn as the Large Hadron Collider goes on inspecting the structure of the microscopic world at the energy range of the TeV without discovering new particles. How…
