Title: Black holes in space and the "lab": from theory to practice Abstract: This talk focuses on recent theoretical developments in black holes and gravity using techniques from quantum field theory. I will begin by demonstrating how perturbative quantum field theory can be employed to compute the gravitational waveforms generated by astrophysical black holes. Next, I will […]

Title: The Power of Non-invertible Symmetry, Abstract: I will discuss recent advances in a novel class of symmetries in quantum field theories and quantum lattice models, known as non-invertible symmetries. Unlike conventional symmetries governed by Wigner's theorem, these are implemented by conserved operators that have no inverse, challenging and extending the traditional paradigm of symmetry in physics. I […]

Title: From quantum information to black holes and cosmology, Abstract: Black holes have not just become laboratories for astronomers, but also present some of the deepest unsolved problems in theoretical physics. During the past decade surprising connections have been made between ideas from quantum information and gravitational physics. In this talk I will explain several aspects […]
