High Energy Theory Seminar

We present the evidence for an emerging mathematical correspondence between black holes and qubits. We first introduce the relevant parts of quantum information theory and entanglement theory. We then show how the entropy and classification of black...

(Based on arXiv:0902.1385, 0903.4543, 0912.1090) Non-relativistic versions of the AdS/CFT correspondence has received a lot of recent attention, much of which has been directed to systems with Schrodinger symmetry, the symmetry of free Schrodinger...

A new era of particle physics has begun this year with the long anticipated first high energy proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on March 30th this year. The ATLAS experiment is one of the two large-scale experiments that...

We will start out with a brief review of recent holographic studies of fermions. Then using a D3/D5-brane construction, a generic string theory dual to recently discussed (non)Fermi liquid behavior will be derived. On the field theory side, spectral...
