General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology

After giving an overview of the basic features of Horava gravity, I will focus on the latest developments and argue that, at least for the most general and complete version of the theory, the infrared phenomenology is by now relatively well understood and pathologies have been tamed. This implies that time has come for the theory to face a new series of intriguing challenges, related to quantization, ultraviolet phenomenology, black holes and singularities etc. I will present some ideas and first results in some of these directions.

Quantum Physics

Abstract The magic state model of quantum computation gives a recipe for universal quantum computation using perfect Clifford operations and repeat preparations of a noisy ancilla state. It is an open problem to determine which ancilla states enable universal quantum computation in this model. Here we show that for systems of odd dimension a necessary condition for a state to enable universal quantum computation is that it have negative representation in a particular quasi-probability representation which is a discrete analogue to the Wigner function. This condition implies the existence of a large class of bound states for magic state distillation: states which cannot be prepared using Clifford operations but do not enable universal quantum computation.

Mass, a concept familiar to all of us, is also one of the deepest
mysteries in nature. Almost all of the mass in the visible universe,
you, me and any other stuff that we see around us, emerges from a
quantum field theory, called QCD, which has a completely negligible
microscopic mass content. How does QCD and the family of gauge
theories it belongs to generate a mass?

This class of non-perturbative problems remained largely elusive despite much
effort over the years. Recently, new ideas based on compactification have been
shown useful to address some of these. Two such inter-related ideas are circle
compactifications, which avoid phase transitions and large-N volume
independence. Through the first one, we realized the existence of a
large-class of "topological molecules", e.g. magnetic bions, which
generate mass gap in a class of compactified gauge theories. The inception of the
second, the idea of large-N volume independence is old. The new
progress is the realization of its first working examples. This property allows us to
map a four dimensional gauge theory (including pure Yang-Mills) to a quantum mechanics at large-N.

I'll discuss solutions with Lifshitz scaling within string supergravity for an arbitrary scaling component z. After showing how to get exact Lifshitz spacetimes, I'll then look at more general solutions, including black holes and flows between Lifshitz and adS spacetimes.
