Seminars and Journal Clubs
Tuesday, March 20, 2018 Giulio Gasbarri (Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Trieste)
On-Chip Quantum Interference of a Superconducting MicrosphereWe propose and analyze an all-magnetic scheme to perform a Young’s double slit experiment with a micron-sized superconducting sphere of mass > ~ 10^13 amu. |
Thursday, February 8, 2018 Antoine Tilloy (Post Doctoral Researcher, Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics)
Interacting quantum field theories as relativistic statistical field theories of local beables I will present a generic method to construct collapse models with good symmetry properties starting from interacting quantum field theories. |

Ghirardi Rimini Weber model with massive flashesHuge amounts of efforts are currently invested in trying to quantize gravity. But are we really sure that gravity should be quantum at the fundamental level? |
Tuesday, August 1, 2017 Luca Curcuraci (Ph.D. student, University of Trieste)
Stochastic mechanics according to M. NagasawaStochastic mechanics is a attempt to formulate quantum mechanics starting from the theory of stochastic process. The most famous formulation is due to E. Nelson [1]. |
Tuesday, June 6, 2017 Matteo Carlesso (Ph.D. student, University of Trieste)
Adjoint master equation for Quantum Brownian MotionQuantum brownian motion is the paradigm of an open quantum system and it finds applications in several physical contexts. |
Tuesday, May 30, 2017 Tommaso Guaita (University of Milano, Italy)
Dynamical reduction models as a solution to the quantum measurement problemDynamical reduction models have been proposed as a possible solution to the well known measurement problem in quantum mechanics. |
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. |
