Quantum Physics

In a generic quantum experiment we have a given set of devices analyzing some physical property of a system. To each device involved in the experiment we associate a set of random outcomes corresponding to the possible values of the variable analyzed by the device. Devices have apertures that permit physical systems to pass through them. Each aperture is labelled as "input" or "output" depending on whether it is assumed that the aperture lets the system go inside or outside the device. Assuming a particular input/output structure for the devices involved in a generic experiment is equivalent to assume a particular causal structure for the space-time events constituted by the outcomes happening on devices. The joint probability distribution of these outcomes is usually predicted assuming an absolutely defined input/output structure of devices. This means that all observers of the experiment agree on whether an aperture is labelled as "input" or "output". In this talk we show that the mathematical formalism of quantum theory permits to predict the joint probability distribution of outcomes in a generic experiment in such a way that the input/output structure is indeed relative to an observer. This means that two observers of the same experiment can predict the joint probability distribution of outcomes assuming different input/output labels for the apertures. Since input/output structure is the causal structure of the space-time events constituting the outcomes involved in the experiment we conclude that in quantum theory, the causal structure of events may not be regarded as absolute but rather as relative to the observer. We finally point out that properly extending this concept to the cosmological domain could shed light on the problem of dark energy.

High Energy Physics

I will present recent developments in the computation of three point functions in the AdS4/CFT3 correspondence. More specifically I will consider two different computations for three point functions of operators belonging to the SU(2)XSU(2) sector of ABJM. I will discuss first the generalization of the determinant representation, found by Foda for the three-point functions of the SU(2) sector of N = 4 SYM, to the ABJM theory and secondly semiclassical computations in the case where two operators are heavy and one is light and BPS, comparing the results obtained in the gauge theory side using a coherent state description of the heavy operators with its string theory counterpart calculated holographically.

Astrophysics

After a brief overview of electroweak baryogenesis, I will show how to construct a solution of the Dirac equation for a CP violating kink wall. This solution nicely reduces to the known solution for a CP violating thin (step) wall. The novel solution can be helpful for studies of baryogenesis sources at strong first order phase transitions, which is relevant for electroweak scale baryogenesis studies.

Condensed Matter

In Dicke Superradiance, a collection of 2-level atoms interacting with a single boson mode acquires, through quantum coherence, an enhanced emission property and a rich dynamics. We suggest possibility of Dicke superradiance in a BCS superconductor. The necessary 2-level atoms are identified with Anderson pseudo spins seeing a self consistent mean field in k-space. A way to couple these 2-level bose atoms to an external boson mode and create a novel non equilibrium superradiant superconductivity (SRSC) is suggested. Our mechanism offers a hope to realize transient superconductivity, even at room temperatures, in the pseudo gap phase of certain underdoped cuprates. Recent experiments are briefly discussed in this light. Further SRSC exhibits interesting quantum entanglement and superfluorescence properties.
