| 11:00 - 12:00 Wednesday Weekly Seminar-google meet Chiral transition in the probe approximation from an Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity model School PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS Abstract: We refine an earlier introduced 5-dimensional gravity solution capable of holographically capturing several qualitative aspects of (lattice) QCD in a strong magnetic background such as the anisotropic behavior of the string tension, inverse catalysis at the level of the deconfinement transition or sensitivity of the entanglement entropy to the latter. Here, we consistently modify our solution of the considered Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton system to not only overcome an unphysical flattening at large distances in the quark-antiquark potential plaguing earlier work, but also to encapsulate inverse catalysis for the chiral transition in th ... 13:30 - 15:00 Weekly Seminar (Online) Probabilistic inference in a multiverse! https://www.skyroom.online/ch/soa/weekly-seminar School ASTRONOMY In this talk, I will briefly introduce some concepts associated to ``multiverse” and discuss new challenges of doing science in this context. I will also argue for (and against) some proposals to overcome these challenges. ... 14:00 - 15:00 Weekly Webinar Investigation of surface plasmon resonance: Abrupt phase jumps, structured lights, refractive index limited sensors, Localized surface plasmon resonance in nanoparticles School NANO SCIENCES Investigation of surface plasmon resonance: Abrupt phase jumps, structured lights, refractive index limited sensors, Localized surface plasmon resonance in nanoparticles Abstract: In this lecture, we will introduce new phenomena in surface plasmon resonance sensors and new structures in surface plasmon resonance. The simulation results show abrupt phase jumps in surface plasmon resonance and have laid the foundation for the design of new nanometric structures to increase phase sensitivity. The new refractive index limited sensors in both single-channel and dual-channel modes have been observed for the first ... 16:00 - 17:00 Quantum Computing & Information Monthly Seminar Introduction to Boltzmann Machines School NANO SCIENCES Introduction to Boltzmann Machines Abstract: In recent years, artificial neural networks (NN) have been employed to study the phase and the state of quantum systems. One type of NN called the (restricted) Boltzmann machines (BM) finds new life in the simulation of complex quantum wave functions. In this talk, I will introduce BM and explain some recent research works on (restricted) BM. |
