Strong Gravity (Elective), PHYS 777, February 24 - March 28, 2025
This course will introduce some advanced topics in general relativity related to describing gravity in the strong field and dynamical regime. Topics covered include properties of spinning black holes, black hole thermodynamics and energy extraction, how to define horizons in a dynamical setting, formulations of the Einstein equations as constraint and evolution equations, and gravitational waves and how they are sourced.

Quantum Foundations (Elective), PHYS 639, January 6 - February 5, 2025
This course will cover the basics of Quantum Foundations under three main headings. Part I – Novel effects in Quantum Theory. A number of interesting quantum effects will be considered. Interferometers: Mach-Zehnder interferometer, Elitzur-Vaidman bomb tester, The quantum-Zeno effect. The no cloning theorem. Quantum optics (single mode). Hong-Ou-Mandel dip. Part II - Conceptual and interpretational issues. Axioms for quantum theory for pure states: Von-Neumann measurement model. * The measurement (or reality) problem. EPR Einstein’s 1927 remarks, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen argument. Bell’s theorem, nonlocality without inequalities. The Tirolson bound. The Kochen-Specker theorem and related work by Spekkens On the reality of the wavefunction: Epistemic versus ontic interpretations of the wavefunction and the Pusey-Barrett-Rudolph theorem proving the reality of the wave function. Gleason’s theorem. Interpretations. The landscape of interpretations of quantum theory (the Harrigen Spekkens classification). The de Broglie-Bohm interpretation, the many worlds interpretation, wave- function collapse models, the Copenhagen interpretation, and QBism. Part III - Structural issues. Reformulating quantum theory: we will look at some reformulations of quantum theory and consider the light they throw on the structure of quantum theory. These may include time symmetric quantum theory and weak measurements (Aharonov et al), quantum Bayesian networks, and the operator tensor formalism. Generalised probability theories: These are more general frameworks for probabilistic theories which admit classical and quantum as special cases. Reasonable principles for quantum theory: we will review some of the recent work on reconstructing quantum theory from simple principles. Indefinite causal structure and indefinite causal order. Finally we will conclude by looking at (i) the close link between quantum foundations and quantum information and (ii) possible future directions in quantum gravity motivated by ideas from quantum foundations.

Relativity (Core), PHYS 604, November 12 - December 11, 2024
This course offers an introduction to general relativity (GR), focusing on the core principles of Einstein's theory of gravity. We will explore key topics such as the equivalence principle, some essential concepts in differential geometry, the Einstein-Hilbert action, and Einstein's field equations. Furthermore, we will examine practical applications of general relativity in understanding black holes, cosmology, and gravitational waves.

Statistical Physics (Core), PHYS 602, October 7 - November 6, 2024
The aim of this course is to explore the main ideas of the statistical physics approach to critical phenomena. We will discuss phase transitions, using the ferromagnetic phase transition and the Ising model as our primary example, with particular emphasis on the renormalisation group approach.

Beautiful Papers - October 7, 2024 - January 31, 2025
Pedro will lead a mini-course (no credit) at Perimeter Institute. To express your interest in attending please complete this registration form (https://forms.office.com/r/nDQ6SDxSR4) by noon on Thursday, October 3. Pedro has selected 9 papers for this mini-course. -Infrared Photons and Gravitons by Weinberg, 1965 -Determination of an Operator Algebra for the 2D Ising Model by Kadanoff and Ceva, 1971 -Confinement of Quarks by Wilson, 1974, -Phenomenological Lagrangians by Weinberg, 1979, -Gravitational Effects on and of Vacuum Decay by Coleman and De Luccia, 1980 -Classical and Quantum Gravity Effects from Planckian Energy Superstring Collisions by Amati, Ciafaloni and Veneziano, 1987 -Quantum Spin Chains and The Haldane Gap by Affleck, 1988 -The Large N Limit of SFTs and Supergravity by Maldacena, 1997 -Entanglement Entropy and Quantum Field Theory by Calabrese and Cardy, 2008 If you think there are super nice papers that are missing that could be better than some of these in a particular topic please contact Pedro directly (pvieira@perimeterinstitute.ca). The format will be: A] Pedro will give a 1h30m lecture about one of these papers on a Monday or a Friday (the Monday or Friday right after B] unless there is a holiday) B] One week later, X students give a presentation of Y minutes about important recent papers that refer/are related to that paper. At the end of this lecture we give feedback about those presentations. What is X and what is Y depends on how many students volunteer to present. Of course, people who just want to attend without presenting are also most welcome! Location: Alice Room, 3rd Floor, Perimeter Institute, 31 Caroline St N, Waterloo Recording/Zoom Details: Lectures will be recorded for PIRSA; Zoom link will be provided to registered participants. Building Access: Participants who do not have an access card for Perimeter Institute must sign in at the security desk before each session. When attending the lectures you can use the free self-serve coffee/water station on the ground floor. Meals and snacks at the on-site Black Hole Bistro are available at the full menu cost. -
Quantum Theory (Core), PHYS 605, September 3 – October 4, 2024
The aim of the first part is to present a brief overview of selected topics in quantum theory. Schrodinger, Heisenberg and Interaction picture is discussed and applied to study time evolution. Density matrix and Feynman path integral are introduced. The second part of the course derives the Feynman rules for scalar quantum field theory and introduces renormalization.
