High Energy Physics

Physics is at a crossroad that leads either to Naturalness or the Multiverse. While the confirmation of gauge coupling unification in the early 90s gave a tremendous boost to naturalness and to low energy SUSY, the lack of evidence for new physics beyond the standard model at the LHC points to a paucity of new particles near the weak scale. This suggests that the weak scale is tuned and that supersymmetry, if present at all, is realized at higher energies. This points to Split SUSY, a framework motivated by the String Landscape. Fine-tuning electroweak symmetry breaking and the renormalization group evolution of the scalar masses constrains Split model building and I review the expectations at the LHC for the different possible Split SUSY particle spectra.

The bimodality of gamma-ray burst (GRB) durations points to distinct progenitor classes for the long- and short-duration GRBs. While the progenitors of long-duration GRBs are now known to be massive stars, the progenitors of short-duration GRBs remain unidentified. In this talk I will discuss the discovery of short GRB afterglow and their host galaxies, detailed studies of their environments from parsec to galactic scales, and studies of their energetics and beaming. Taken together, these observations point to the coalescence of NS-NS/NS-BH binaries as the most likely progenitors. With the upcoming Advanced LIGO/VIRGO gravitational wave detectors it is therefore possible that short GRBs will be the first detected sources, and I will discuss various approaches to making this connection between gravitational wave and electromagnetic sources.

In the first part of my talk I describe a search for possible quantum spin liquid ground states for spin S=1 Heisenberg models on the triangular lattice which was motivated by recent experiments on Ba3NiSb2O9. We use representation of spin-1 via three flavors of fermionic spinon operators. The ground state where one gapless flavor of spinons with a Fermi surface coexists with d+id topological pairing of the two other flavors can explain available experimental data. Despite the existence of a Fermi surface, this spin liquid state has fully gapped bulk spin excitations. This results in a linear in-temperature specific heat and constant in-plane spin susceptibility, with an unusually high Wilson ratio. Using variational Monte Carlo technique, we show that proposed spin liquid ground state is realized in an SU(3)-invariant model with sufficiently strong ring-exchange terms. In the second part, I consider the physics of the magnetic s=1/2 impurity embedded in a S=1 spin liquid, where all three flavors of spinons have a Fermi surface. The interplay between non-Fermi-liquid behavior induced by a U(1) gauge field coupled to fermions, and a non-Fermi-liquid fixed point in the overscreened Kondo problem is studied using double expansion. The gauge field changes the physical properties of the system at the overscreened Kondo fixed point. Thus, spin-half impurity in such spin liquid can be used to probe the presence of fermionic spinons coupled to the gauge field. References: arXiv:1108.3070, arXiv:1208.3231 and arXiv:1212.5179

Quantum Physics

Human monkeys are used to thinking about the problem of choosing from a set of objects according to some desired, biased, probability distribution. Just think about how you chose your partner(s). Even when it is easy for you to do such a sampling, it can be difficult to do a quantum sampling (Q-Sampling) of the same distribution. By Q-Sampling I mean the creation of a coherent superposition of states of such objects whose amplitudes are the (square roots of) of the specified distribution. In this talk I will discuss what we do know about this problem, why it is interesting, and will discuss how it can let us achieve tasks with quantum information that are provably impossible classically.
