Factorization algebras in TQFT
Science Center 507 1 Oxford Street, CambridgeGeometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speakers: Mayuko Yamashita, Kyoto University Title: Factorization algebras in TQFT Abstract: This is the first in the series of our working seminars on factorization algebras/homologies. This talk focuses on locally constant factorization algebras, which correspond to Topological QFTs. I first explain they are equivalent to algebras over E_n operads and […]

Perturbative Factorization Algebras
Science Center Hall E 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesGeometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Ahsan Khan Title: Perturbative Factorization Algebras Abstract: In physics the starting point in studying a QFT is to write down an appropriate action functional. My talk will aim to sketch how this connects with the framework of factorization algebras.

Quantum Cellular Automata
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesSpecial Seminar Speaker: Jeongwan Haah, Stanford University Title: Quantum Cellular Automata Abstract: A discrete time evolution on lattice systems that has a notion of lightcone is called a quantum cellular automaton. Lattice translation in 1D is a well-known example of QCA that is nontrivial in the sense that it is not a local Hamiltonian evolution. […]
