TITLE: Quasi-normal modes of rotating black holes beyond General Relativity ABSTRACT: In this talk, I will summarize the recent advancements of quasi-normal modes in alternative theories of gravity. I will explain the main issues in computing the characteristic frequencies of rotating black holes and what are the most prominent strategies to tackle this problem. The […]

Programming quantum materials with terahertz light Quantum materials often harbor emergent orders and phases that reveal themselves at low-energy scales, around 1 to 10 meV. To investigate these collective behaviors, we turn to the terahertz energy regime—a crucial window for probing and controlling quantum phenomena. In this talk, I will present our latest breakthroughs in […]

Title: Entangled photons win the 2022 Nobel Prize! Abstract: The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clauser, Alain Aspect, and Anton Zeilinger for experiments with entangled photons. This may have left you wondering, “What are entangled photons, and how does one actually do experiments with them?” In this talk I will discuss questions like these and, more broadly, […]
TITLE: Impact of primordial magnetic fields on matter power spectrum ABSTRACT: Primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) offer a simple explanation for the origin of galactic magnetic fields as well as of the purportedly detected magnetic fields in cosmic voids. In the talk, I discuss how PMFs' influence on structure formation can offer a complementary method to […]
Title: “Topological Crystalline Markers for Rotational-Symmetric Insulators” Abstract: “Topological insulators are materials with unique properties, featuring gapless boundary modes despite having a gapped bulk. When translational symmetry is intact, their topologically non-trivial characteristics can be identified using momentum-space based topological invariants. Yet, challenges arise when bulk disorder and defects break translational symmetry, making momentum-space approaches […]
Title: Tensor network simulation in strongly correlated systems: past, present and future Abstract: Tensor network states are new kinds of variational wavefunctions that help us to understand quantum phases and phase transitions beyond Landau paradigm. In this talk, I will first review the major development of tensor network simulation in the past two decades. […]
