[Theory-seminars] Cancellation tomorrow's seminar

[Carlota Andres]

Dear all,

Since many people are away this week, we have decided to postpone tomorrow's cake seminar. Fabio Dominguez will give his seminar in January.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Raza, Carlota and Vincent

Subject: [Theory-seminars] Seminars next week

Dear all, 

Here is a reminder for next week's seminars:

Theory Seminar:
Monday, November 19th, 1PM, Room L102
Yannick Meurice (University of Iowa), "Quantum computation for lattice gauge theory"
BlueJeans connection: https://bluejeans.com/321085255

Abstract:
We review the tensorial formulation of spin models and lattice gauge theories and algorithmic aspects of their coarse graining. We show that this reformulation 
fits the needs for analog or digital quantum computations. We discuss concrete proposals for the Abelian Higgs model  and other simple examples 
in 1+1 dimensions.

Cake Seminar:
Wednesday, November 21st, 1PM, Room L102
Fabio Dominguez (University of Santiago de Compostela), "New developments and challenges in the theory of jet quenching in heavy ion collisions"
BlueJeans link: https://bluejeans.com/195615763

Abstract:
The creation of a new state of matter, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), in heavy ion collision experiments has provided new ways of studying the dynamics of strong interactions and gives a unique opportunity to probe the properties of deconfined QCD matter. One of the clearest signatures of the formation of a QGP on a given collision is the suppression of high energy particles and jets (also known as jet quenching), due to the energy loss they experience while traversing the strongly interacting medium. In order to extract information about the properties of the plasma through these measurements, it becomes necessary to have a consistent theory for parton branching in the presence of a medium. In this talk a review of the recent developments in this direction, and the main difficulties encountered along the way, will be given.
