Sommerfeld Lecture Series (ASC) Podcast
1) Comments on the phase of the Euclidean gravity partition function on spheres
Euclidean gravity on a sphere (euclidean de-Sitter) gives rise to some phase factors. We discuss how these phase factors change when we include an observer. We also discuss situations involving produc...Show More
2) The meaning of spacetime: Black holes, wormholes and quantum entanglement
We start by describing the geometrical notions central to Einstein's theory of gravity. We then discuss current ideas for how spacetime geometry could emerge in a quantum theory of gravity. We will se...Show More
3) Quantum Spin Liquids and New Phases in M-Point twisted material platforms
I will show how a new set of twisted materials based on the M point rather than the K point can realize a series of exotic phases of matter, including quantum spin liquids and charge glasses. These ma...Show More
4) Nano-engineering from a Theoretical Physics Perspective
We will review the beginning of experimental and theoretical studies of moire systems and their evolution up to present. This type of systems represent a new way of “growing” materials, and has tremen...Show More
5) In Integers We Trust: The Periodic Table of Materials From Mendeleev to Topology
Materials science has always balanced on the twin pillars of observation and abstraction—from the alchemists’ crude recipes to today’s AI-driven materials design. In this talk, we begin by revisiting ...Show More
6) Eugene Demler: Photons for many body physics: a platform and probe
In this talk, I will discuss the applications of cavity electrodynamics for controlling many-body electron systems. The focus will be on achieving strong coupling between cavities and collective excit...Show More
7) Eugene Demler: New colors of light
It is commonly recognized that scientific discoveries result in new technologies. In this talk we will discuss the reverse: behind every conceptual breakthrough lies some technological advance. To ill...Show More
8) Eugene Demler: Lighting up superconductivity
Recent experiments suggest the phenomenon of light induced superconductivity above Tc in two different materials: fullerene superconductor K3C60 and high Tc cuprate YBCO. I will discuss the distinct p...Show More
9) Hirosi Ooguri: Symmetry Resolution at High Energy
The density of states of a unitary quantum field theory is known to have a universal behavior at high energy. In two dimensions, this behavior is described by the Cardy formula. When the theory has sy...Show More
10) Hirosi Ooguri: Constraints on Quantum Gravity
Although predictions of quantum gravity are typically at extremely high energy, several non-trivial constraints on its low energy effective theory have been found over the last decade or so. I will st...Show More
