I will discuss recent progress in understanding quantum gravity
amplitudes (partition function, boundary correlation functions and
multiboundary amplitudes) in Liouville gravity, and how they limit
to Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) amplitudes. I will...
A recent line of work has focused on the following question: Can
one prove strong unconditional lower bounds on the number of
samples needed for learning under memory constraints? We study an
extractor-based approach to proving such bounds for a...
We will discuss recent developments of the theory of
a-contraction with shifts to study the stability of discontinuous
solutions of systems of equations modeling inviscid compressible
flows, like the compressible Euler equation.
Low-dimensional topology and geometry have many problems with an
easy formulation, but a hard solution. Despite our intuitive
feeling that these problems are "hard", lower or upper bounds on
algorithmic complexity are known only for some of them...
Could quantum circuit complexity have physical ramifications? In
the context of AdS/CFT, Susskind has suggested that it might, as
circuit complexity could be the CFT dual to AdS wormhole volume.
Here we explore this proposal using cryptographic...
I will discuss real-time path integrals in gravitational
theories. As applications we will describe the general structure of
replica wormhole saddles and the effective dynamics of open quantum
systems with long-term memory.
In recent work, it was argued that quantum computations with
inputs and outputs distributed in spacetime, or quantum tasks,
impose constraints on entanglement in holographic theories. The
resulting constraint was named the connected wedge theorem...
I will discuss progress towards understanding the relationship
between the gravitational path integral and the partition function
via the gravitational free energy (more generally the generating
functional). A proper computation of the free energy...

I'll talk about two related projects, with two different groups,
both aiming to see three-dimensional manifolds "from the inside".
That is, we generate images assuming that light travels along
geodesics in the geometry of the manifold. The first...
