The Institute for Advanced Study requires that all adult
visitors, collaborators, conference and on-campus seminar attendees
and outside vendors coming to the Institute are required to have
completed a COVID-19 vaccination and booster in order to...
Abstract: The AdS/CFT conjecture in
physics posits the existence of a correspondence between
gravitational theories in asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (aAdS)
spacetimes and field theories on their conformal boundary. In
this presentation, we prove a...
All in-person attendees must be fully vaccinated,
including a booster dose. Individuals must be
prepared to present proof of vaccination and booster if asked but
will not be required to submit proof. Masks are
optional in all indoor spaces.
Finding unconventional superconductors in proximity to various
strongly correlated electronic phases has been a recurring theme in
materials as diverse as heavy fermion compounds, cuprates,
pnictides, and twisted bilayer graphene. The...
Abstract: We show that if a massive body
is put in a quantum superposition of spatially separated states,
the mere presence of a black hole in the vicinity of the body will
eventually destroy the coherence of the superposition. This occurs
because...

Abstract: The Event Horizon Telescope has
released total intensity images of the Messier 87* and Sagittarius
A* accretion flows; polarized images have been released for M 87*,
and are imminent for Sgr A*. These images are a rich source
of...
