Princeton University Special Physics Seminar

Tensor Network Simulation in Strongly Correlated Systems: Past, Present and Future
Zheng-Cheng Gu
11:00am|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: Tensor network states are new kinds of variational wavefunctions that help us to understand quantum phases and phase transitions beyond Landau paradigm. In this talk, I will first review the major development of tensor network simulation...

IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

Feynman in Monte Carlo
Zeno Capatti
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: I will present a general Monte Carlo approach to the calculation of Feynman diagrams relevant to perturbative problems in collider physics, hot and dense QCD, non-relativistic many-body systems and classical physics.

IAS Physics Group Meeting

Bulk Volume Differences as the Holographic Dual of the Index of Boundary Algebra Inclusions
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: In the AdS/CFT correspondence, it is of great importance to understand the emergence of bulk geometry from quantum mechanical degrees of freedom on the boundary. Volumes of spatial subregions are key quantities characterizing the bulk...

IAS Informal Physics Seminar

Symmetry Topological Field Theory for 1+1d Lattice Models and 2+1d Gapped Phases with Categorical Symmetries
Apoorv Tiwari
1:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Non-invertible categorical symmetries have emerged as a powerful tool to uncover new beyond-Landau quantum phases and phase transitions. The general theory of such phases and transitions has been studied systematically primarily in (1+1)d...

IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

Towards the Regge Trajectory of the Critical O(N) Model at Large-N Limit
Yue-Zhou Li
2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: I will naively analyze the Regge trajectory of the leading-twist operators in the critical O(N) model to leading order in 1/N. The anomalous dimensions of these operators develop simple poles in the spin J, preventing one from naively...
