We present Denario, an AI multi-agent system designed to be a scientific research assistant. Denario can perform many different tasks, such as generating ideas, checking the literature, developing research plans, writing and executing code, making pl... more

An appealing and challenging route towards engineering materials with specic properties is to find ways of designing or selectively manipulate materials, especially at the quantum level. We will provide an overview of how well-established concepts in... more

The conventional models of high energy physics place the elementary particles on a fixed or slowly evolving, nearly flat, spacetime geometry. The space foam predicted for quantum theory of gravity by A.Wheeler and S.Hawking gives a very different pic... more

With Run II, the LHC experiment already reached an unprecedented level of precision compared to previous hadron colliders. The amount of data collected in Run III and the High-Luminosity run will increase quickly and dramatically. I will discuss spec... more

One of the simplest ways to make gauge fields massive is to add them a mass "by hand". Intuitively, one could expect that the corresponding massless theory would then be easy to recover. Yet, conventional methods indicate that such a limit is singula... more

I describe the physics of black holes and show how the traditional approach leads to the information paradox. I will then discuss some of the proposed resolutions and the difficulties they need to overcome. I then discuss soft black hole hair and des... more

  • Very nice feed, but …

    All uploads have the same date on them and not the dates of the talks, this is why my (and probably most) podcatcher sorts the talks wrong and provides the wrong episode in the feed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Structured Vacuum Fluctuations: A New Pathway to Quantum Materials Design within QEDFT
Q: Any questions from the audience?
Audience member asks about the importance of cavity mode shapes and polarization; the speaker emphasizes that mode localization is crucial, with spatial confinement and appropriate q-vectors being essential to couple to specific material properties.
Active feedback and functionality in model tissues
Q: Is the front propagating because of cell divisions?
It's a mixture of flattening the sheet over time and some division, though these are largely decoupled in our model.
Active feedback and functionality in model tissues
Q: Do you believe in theory of leading cells or?
Leading cells are definitely present biologically, but their exact role is complicated and may involve more than just pulling the whole finger structure.
Moire Systems as Quantum Simulators of Many Strongly Correlated System
Q: What challenges do the inherent disorders in these systems present for large-scale quantum simulations?
Inherent disorder can complicate the simulation of large-scale systems, but the resilience of certain two-dimensional materials against disorder provides opportunities for effective quantum simulations.
Moire Systems as Quantum Simulators of Many Strongly Correlated System
Q: Can twisting layers of materials effectively create flat bands?
Yes, twisting two layers of materials such as graphene can drastically reduce bandwidth from electron volts to milli-electron volts, resulting in flat bands and enhancing interaction effects.
