Seminars and Journal Clubs
Friday, May 5, 2017 Giovanni Perosa (University of Trieste, Italy)
Partial differential equation and heat conductionThe aim of this seminar is to describe the problem affecting heat transfer equation in a relativistic frame and the efforts to solve it. |
Tuesday, April 11, 2017 Mauro Paternostro (Queen's University Belfast, U.K.)
When Maxwell deamon is your best friend: an invitation to study stochastic thermodynamics of quantum processesThermodynamics is an inherently macroscopic theory that describes energy-exchange processes between a system and its environment, and the extraction of work from a driven system. |
Tuesday, April 11, 2017 Bassano Vacchini (University of Milano, INFN-Milano, Italy)
On the interplay between memory kernels and collisonal modelsIn recent times important progress has been made in the characterization and quantification of the notion of non-Markovianity for quantum dynamical evolutions. |
Friday, February 17, 2017 Stefano Bacchi (PhD student, University of Trieste)
Roundup of results on Lie groups, Lie algebras and their representationsA list of basic arguments, frequently used and very useful in physics, about Lie groups will be given. |
Friday, October 14, 2016 Luca Curcuraci (PhD student, University of Trieste)
Bohmian mechanics: basic factsIn the first part of the talk, the bohmian formulation of quantum mechanics will be briefly reviewed. |
Friday, September 16, 2016 Stefano Bacchi (PhD student, University of Trieste)
Imaginary unit and other non-relativistic Quantum Mechanical adventures of Galilean invarianceThe role of Galilean invariance in non-relativistic quantum mechanics will be discussed. |
Thursday, June 30, 2016 Marko Toros (PhD student, University of Trieste)
Weak gravitational fieldsWe will discuss some aspects of the General theory of Relativity (GR) for the description of weak gravitational fields. |
Tuesday, June 14, 2016 Sumanta Chakraborty (Inter University for Astronomy and Astrophysics, India)
Information retrieval from black holesIt is generally believed that, when matter collapses to form a black hole, the complete
information about the initial state of the matter cannot be retrieved by future asymptotic observers, through l |
Tuesday, May 17, 2016 Hendrik Ulbricht (University of Southampton, U.K)
Prospects to use levitated optomechanics to test quantum mechanics and gravityWe will discuss ideas to experimentally test collapse models [1] by both matter-wave
interferometry [2] and non-interferometric methods [3]. |
Thursday, April 14, 2016 Luca Ferialdi
General Non-Markovian Structure of Gaussian Master and Stochastic Schrödinger EquationsGeneral open quantum systems display memory features, their master equations are non-Markovian. |
