An Effective (Field Theory) Pathway to the New Standard Model
- Juan Rojo
11:15 AM - 11:55 AM
Room: de Werelt The ultimate goal of particle physics is uncovering a fundamental theory which allows the coherent interpretation of phenomena taking place at all energy and distance scales. The Effective Field Theory framework is particularly powerful in this respect, in that it makes possible a model-independent, theoretically consistent interpretation of particle physics data measured by a range of different experiments. In talk I present recent progress in global analyses of LHC data in terms of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, in particular focusing on the combination of Higgs, electroweak, and top quark production measurements. I will also discuss how to construct optimally-sensitive observables for EFT fits with machine learning and the interplay between EFT effects and proton structure when interpreting high-pT LHC measurements.

4:15 PM - 4:55 PM
Room: de Werelt Since the revolutionary discovery of gravitational wave (GW) emission from a binary black hole merger in 2015, the remarkable GW detectors LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA have detected ninety compact object mergers. These events are transforming modern astronomy. In particular, the first binary neutron star merger, dubbed GW170817, was observed in both gravitational and electromagnetic radiation, thus opening up a new era in multimessenger astrophysics. The multi-messenger characterisation of such an event has enabled major advances into diverse fields of modern physics from gravity, high-energy and extragalactic astrophysics, nuclear physics, to cosmology. In this talk, I will discuss my work in strong-field gravity astrophysics and how combining observations, theory and experiment have been key in making progress in this field. I will present the challenges and the opportunities that have emerged in multi-messenger astrophysics, and what the future holds in this new era.

7:00 PM - 7:40 PM
Room: de Werelt Quantum computers hold great future promise for performing more energy efficient and especially faster calculations for various complex problems by making use of algorithms with quantum speed-up. The most famous of these is the so-called Grover search algorithm. One, maybe less known, research area where quantum computers may possible become of great importance is Artificial Intelligence (AI) and in particular Natural Language Processing (NLP). In this talk we will try to explain why this is the case and will also present some first proof-of-principle calculations on the superconducting quantum computer publicly available through the IBM Quantum Experience, with the ultimate aim of applying Grover's algorithm to the NLP task of question answering. We also explicitly show the limitations of the present-day noisy quantum computers due to decoherence processes.
