    Playing with Bob's toys to quantize gravity
    24.11.2022
    We recall the definition of Yutsis diagrams, a standard graphical calculus used in quantum chemistry and quantum gravity, and we show how it embeds within Penrose's binor calculus. Then we show how we can explicitly diagrammatically calculate 3jm, 4jm and 6j symbols with ZX-calculus. It has long been thought that quantum gravity should be closely aligned to quantum information theory. In this paper, we present a way in which this connection can be made exact, by writing the ...

    Interaction and Evolution in Classical Mechanics and in Quantum Mechanics, and Indefinite Causal Orders
    05.04.2023
    One gets for free, moreover, a characterization of "free" evolution (or "isolation"). This is not the case in Hamiltonian and quantum mechanics. Along the way, I point out that the theorems allow one to entirely reconstruct the full 4-dimensional spacetime structure of Newtonian physics from classical dynamics, again in a way not possible in quantum theory. Thus, it is also the case that the dynamics of quantum theory needs to be hooked up to background spacetime structure ...

    History for Physics: Quantum Gravity
    03.10.2019
    please contact the organizers, who will then try to match tandems together. We also highly welcome history talks by non-historians. If you wish to contribute in one of those ways, please send an abstract of your proposed talk, no longer than half an A4 page, to hfp@mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de . The deadline for applications is 01.11.2019. Besides the talks, we will schedule a panel discussion on the relevance of the history of physics for research and education and its current ...

    Weak-values techniques: when parameter estimation becomes easy
    01.12.2016
    Presenter : Julian Martinez-Rincon; University of Rochester Host : M. Aspelmeyer Where : Schrödingerroom, Boltzmanngasse 5, 4th floor, 1090 Wien Precision measurements are bounded by the Standard Quantum Limit (SQL), and preparing non-classical states is often used to circumvent such a limit. In all cases, it is common to improve the precision in a parameter estimation procedure by averaging measurements on a large ensemble of identically prepared systems. However, such a ...

Furthermore, I will cover how interfering two-mode squeezing and hopping interactions enable nonreciprocal transport without breaking time-reversal symmetry [3], linked to non-Hermitian topology in a bosonic Kitaev model [4]. Finally, I will extend the discussion to broader classes of driven-dissipative nonlinear systems and introduce a topological classification framework based on vector flow topology in phase space.

    FELIX EHRENHAFT: A DISONANT VOICE FROM VIENNA – OR THE COST OF BEING AGAINST PARADIGMS
    02.02.2021
    allowed him to measure the electron charge, for which he won international prestige, achieving an accuracy superior to other scientists, as Robert Millikan. However, his fame declined as Ehrenhaft insisted on having also found fraction values, like 2/3 or 4/3 of the “elementary” charge. He seemed with this result to side with Ernst Mach, in terms of denying the electron the status of an indivisible particle. He fought with the Austrian artillery during Word War I, and ...
