A Hundred Years of Quantum Mechanics
The establishment of the complete framework of Quantum Mechanics is one of the epochal events of not just science, but human history. In addition to giving a highly successful theoretical basis for understanding the universe of the very small, the very large and the very complex, its technological spin offs are the mainstay of modern civilization. ICTS plans to celebrate the centenary of modern quantum mechanics and look towards the emerging frontiers which will shape the next 100 years. Thus, in the QM100 meeting we plan to gather a galaxy of international scientists in areas ranging across Quantum Mechanics in all its manifestations with different themes from High Energy Physics, String Theory, Cosmology, Condensed Matter Physics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Quantum Chaos as well as Quantum Information/Computing and Mathematics.In-person participation is by invitation only. There will, however, be an option for online participation. We may be able to accommodate a selected few youn...

The course will also teach principles of software engineering ensuring reproducible results Instructor: Erik Schnetter/Dustin Lang/Subhayan Students who are not part of the PSI MSc program should review enrollment and course format information here: https://perimeterinstitute.ca/graduate-courses -
Mathematical Physics (Core), PHYS 777-, January 6 - February 5, 2025
This course will introduce you to some of the geometrical structures underlying theoretical physics. Previous knowledge of differential geometry is not required. Topics covered in the course include: Introduction to manifolds, differential forms, symplectic manifolds, symplectic version of Noether’s theorem, integration on manifolds, fiber bundles, principal bundles and applications to gauge theory.

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.

ICTP-ICTS Winter School on Quantitative Systems Biology
Ecosystems embody a remarkable diversity of life, forming intricate networks that exhibit both stability and the potential for rapid change. These systems, governed by complex interactions among organisms and their environment, present a rich tapestry for scientific exploration. This Winter School on Quantitative Systems Biology (QSB) will dive into the heart of understanding how biodiversity underpins ecosystem stability, resilience, and the mechanisms that drive their dynamics. We will explore cutting-edge questions such as: How does biodiversity contribute to the robustness of ecosystems against perturbations? What are the underlying principles that predict the stability of ecosystems? What happens to ecosystem dynamics when they become unstable? And how can we model the interplay between species to understand potential critical or tipping points? Through a multidisciplinary approach that combines theory with data, participants will engage with the latest methodologies and tools in ...

Hearing beyond the standard model with cosmic sources of Gravitational Waves
The experimental detection of gravitational waves (GWs) due to the merger of astrophysical objects like black holes and neutron stars is one of the biggest discoveries in physics. The GWs can also be sourced from several other cosmological phenomena, and their amplitudes and frequencies vary in a wide range. The detection of these gravitational waves can potentially probe fundamental physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) of particle physics and cosmology. For example, inflation is associated with several sources of tensor perturbations during inflation and the ones generated during reheating and preheating. Each of these propagates as detectable Stochastic GW background (SGWB) signals. Associated with inflation is also the collapse of density fluctuations to form Primordial Black Holes (PBH), leaving signatures in induced GWs and non-gaussianities. Cosmological first-order Phase Transitions (PT) during which the universe transitions from a false vacuum to a true vacuum leads to bubbl...

MathSpark 2024
Event Description: Tales of pyramids and spheres: speaking volumes of CavalieriAbstract: We will explore the computation of volume of interesting solids using simple geometrical ideas and dimensional arguments. We will start with the unassuming pyramid and we will explore how dimensional arguments and extreme case reasoning allows us to approach the volume of a truncated pyramid. If you have ever wondered about the formula for the cone volume, we will see this in action by building a paper model and solving a puzzle. Following this, we will extend this idea to the volume of a sphere using the ideas of Cavalieri and discover how it has connections with another peculiar solid, which goes by many names, but one is called the Steinmetz solid! Depending on audience interest, we can draw connections to Mamikon’s sweeping tangent theorem and its connection to Cavalieri congruenceAbout the Speaker: Kaushik Basu is an instructor in Mathematics and Physics at the Graduate School of Education, Un...
