The concept of information has become central in contemporary physics, yet its precise meaning remains contested. Does "information" denote an epistemic notion—what agents can infer and transmit—or does it capture an objective feature of physical…

This talk presents a detailed overview of advanced photonic technologies based on direct-bonded III–V semiconductor heterostructures, with a central focus on substrate-transferred crystalline interference coatings for infrared precision metrology.

In this talk, I will cover the research conducted by J. Clarke, M.H. Devoret, and J. M. Martinis that was acknowledged with the Nobel Prize in Physics this year.

The formalism of Open Quantum Systems with gravity as an environment provides a framework to describe the effective evolution of quantised matter systems under gravitational influence. It offers a way to study fundamental aspects of the interplay…

The field equations of general relativity may be characterized as 'background' equations.

As the recent Nature survey confirms, we do not seem to be getting any closer to a consensus understanding of quantum mechanics (QM). I will argue that this is because QM’s principal assumption, that the state of a quantum system is a vector in…

We describe a generalization of the de Broglie-Bohm (dBB) formulation of quantum mechanics where the Bohmian equations of motion for the quantum trajectories are replaced by the effective action equations of motion.

This talk will present a study of Kolmogorov complexity for general quantum states from the perspective of deterministic-control quantum Turing Machines (dcq-TM).

In this talk, I will describe recent developments in our understanding of edge modes associated to subregions in gauge theories, leveraging their realization as reference frames. I will begin with the picture in classical Maxwell theory, where I will…

There are many techniques for decelerating particles or extracting their kinetic energy. These include (i) laser cooling, which uses decelerating forces in combination with dissipation, and (ii) stochastic cooling, which uses feedback rather than…
