Magnetic Monopoles: Cosmic Consequences to Close Encounters

Fri, 02 Oct 2026 14:04:19 +0200

TITLE: “Magnetic Monopoles: Cosmic Consequences to Close Encounters”

SPEAKER: Maximilian Bachmaier ( EHU )

ABSTRACT: After the discovery of the magnetic monopole solution by ’t Hooft and Polyakov in 1974, two communities became particularly interested in these objects. On the one hand, high-energy physicists study monopoles because they are predicted by grand unified theories, which may have played a relevant role in the early Universe. On the other hand, mathematicians and mathematical physicists are interested in their rich topological structure, which results in non-trivial collision dynamics. In this talk, I will connect these two research directions through our recent numerical simulations, revisiting longstanding predictions and exploring regimes beyond their original approximations. The first part addresses the magnetic monopole problem: grand unified theories can lead to an abundance of monopoles so large that it would dramatically influence the evolution of the Universe. I will discuss some solutions, focusing in particular on magnetic monopoles connected by cosmic strings and their potential signatures in gravitational radiation. The second part is about monopole collisions. I will introduce the predictions of the moduli-space approximation and present our recent numerical results, showing how they test these predictions and extend beyond the original approximations.

Electromagnetism Today

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 20:26:28 +0200

TITLE: ” Electromagnetism Today”

SPEAKER: Dimitri Sorokin (EHU & INFN)

ABSTRACT: In 1862 Maxwell unified the electric, magnetic and light phenomena within the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation. In 1920s Dirac put forward the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED). In 1933-1934 Born and Infeld constructed the first non-linear generalization of Maxwell’s electrodynamics that turned out to be a remarkable theory in many respects. In 1935 Heisenberg and Euler computed an effective action describing non-linear corrections to Maxwell’s theory due to quantum electron-positron one-loop effects in QED. Since then, these and a variety of other models of non-linear electrodynamics have been extensively studied and used in a wide range of areas of theoretical physics including string theory, gravity, cosmology and condensed matter. In this talk I will overview general properties of Maxwell’s theory and models of non-linear electrodynamics which are distinguished by their symmetries and physical properties, such as electric-magnetic duality and conformal invariance. I will also consider how non-linear electromagnetic effects may manifest themselves in physical phenomena, such as light-by-light scattering and vacuum birefringence. The latter is still to be observed experimentally. Finally, I will flash applications of non-linear electrodynamics to the physics of black holes and in a more formal framework of mathematical physics.

4th General Meeting of Cosmoverse (CA21136)

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 13:27:06 +0200

4th General Meeting of Cosmoverse (CA21136), September 15-17, 2026

Overview

Our understanding of the Universe is at a turning point with the predictions of the standard cosmological model and the observations from different surveys are showing tensions in several key areas. The disagreement is expressed in the value of cosmic expansion as well as in the growth of large-scale structure in the Universe. New cosmological surveys, many of which are European, may expose tension in additional areas of the concordance model. The question of cosmological tensions can be confronted in a number of ways. Firstly, survey data needs to be further analyzed for potential systematic uncertainties or biases. Secondly, there have been numerous advances in approaches to data analysis and statistics, some of which provide less dependence on cosmological models to make cosmological parameter estimates. Lastly, there are a plethora of new proposals from fundamental physics which range from novel neutrino physics to dark energy proposals (and others) which may contribute to a solution to the cosmological tensions problem. These represent the three research themes through which cosmological tensions will either be alleviated or resolved.

Gauge-Invariant Microscopic Kinetic Equation Theory of Superconductivity

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 15:02:45 +0200

TITLE: ” Gauge-Invariant Microscopic Kinetic Equation Theory of Superconductivity “

SPEAKER: Prof. Ming-Wei Wu, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China

ABSTRACT: Gauge invariance of response of superconductors to external fields is one of the key elements in theories of superconductivity. In this talk I will discuss a new approach to gauge-invariant equations describing kinetic effects in superconductors. I will show how this theory works with the three-fluid model of conventional low-temperature s-wave superconductivity and of d-wave superconductivity typical for high-temperature superconductors.

Large deviations and conditioned monitored quantum systems: a tensor network approach

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 15:00:13 +0200

TITLE: ” Large deviations and conditioned monitored quantum systems: a tensor network approach “

SPEAKER: Maria Cea Fernandez, Max-Plank-Institut fur Quantenoptik, Garching, Germany & Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST), Munchen, Germany

ABSTRACT: Coexistence of different dynamical phases is a hallmark of glassy dynamics. This is well-studied in classical systems where the underlying theoretical framework is that of large deviation theory. The presence of a similar phase coexistence has been suggested in monitored quantum many-body systems, but the lack of suitable methods has yet prevented a systematic large deviation analysis. Here we present a tensor network framework that allows the application of large deviation theory to large quantum systems. Building on this, we locate a series of first-order dynamical phase transitions in a monitored discrete-time many-body quantum dynamics, at the level of the trajectory space. Crucially, our approach provides access not only to large-deviation statistics but also to conditioned quantum many-body states, enabling a microscopic characterization of the dynamical phases and their coexistence.

Practical applications of quantum harmonic analysis

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 14:57:10 +0200

TITLE: ” Practical applications of quantum harmonic analysis “

SPEAKER: Pablo Bermejo (DIPC)

ABSTRACT: A few key concepts from representation theory reveal central features that are common to random quantum circuits, challenges in quantum machine learning (QML), the classical simulability of QML models, and quantum resource theory. Using basic ideas from representation theory, we explore how to compute moments of local random quantum circuits via tensor networks exponentially faster than previous Monte Carlo methods. We show how these insights can be used to characterize barren plateaus in QML, as well as their consequences for classical simulability. In particular, we show why quantum convolutional neural networks are effectively classically simulable. We generalize the ideas underlying these works to develop a new framework for characterizing resources in quantum information, including multipartite entanglement, non-Gaussianity, spin coherence, and non-stabilizerness, with broader applications to entanglement witnesses, state compression, and simulation schemes. Finally, we take a closer look at the classical simulation of random quantum circuits by analyzing the so-called “quantum echos” experiment from Google Quantum AI using tensor networks and belief propagation

From Majorana to Andreev and back

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 20:05:19 +0200

TITLE: ” From Majorana to Andreev and back “

SPEAKER: Ramón Aguado, Quantum Advanced Research Center (QuARC) & Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM), CSIC

ABSTRACT: The promise of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) for fault-tolerant topological quantum computing stems from their unique non-Abelian statistics and inherent topological protection from local decoherence. However, after fifteen years of research, distinguishing MZMs from near-zero-energy Andreev bound states (ABSs) in hybrid devices remains a key challenge. This “Majorana versus Andreev” challenge has revealed that, rather than being a disadvantage, ABSs can serve as a foundation for novel superconducting qubit designs. One promising approach encodes a qubit in the spin of a quasiparticle residing in an ABS of a quantum dot. Embedding such a superconducting spin qubit into a transmon circuit provides an intrinsic spin-supercurrent coupling, enabling an effective interface with circuit quantum electrodynamics for coherent control and readout; as well as strategies for noise mitigation. Alternatively, a minimal Kitaev chain implemented in quantum dots coupled via superconductors is a promising platform for Majorana-based qubits. Even a minimal chain of two dots can host a pair of Majorana modes and store quantum information in their joint parity. Recent quantum capacitance measurements on such platforms have enabled single-shot parity readout and demonstrated parity lifetimes exceeding 1 millisecond. These results establish essential readout capabilities and resolve a long-standing experimental challenge, paving the way for time-domain control of Majorana-based qubits.

Quantum simulation for High energy nuclear physics

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 13:25:02 +0200

TITLE: ” Quantum simulation for High energy nuclear physics “

SPEAKER: Joao Barata (CERN)

ABSTRACT: Many aspects of interest in high energy nuclear physics are related to emergent many-body properties of QCD, such as hadronic structure explored in DIS experiments or the hydrodynamical quark gluon plasma produced in heavy ion collisions. Such questions find a direct connection to several new research directions in the simulation of lattice (gauge) models in real-time, propelled by the development of tensor network and quantum computing tools. In this talk, I will first review some open questions relating to the out of equilibrium properties of matter produced in heavy ion collisions. I will then discuss how some of the open questions, which are not accessible using standard QCD techniques, could in principle be studied using quantum simulators.

Gravitational waves from strong first order phase transitions

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 13:22:19 +0200

TITLE: ” Gravitational waves from strong first order phase transitions “

SPEAKER: Jose Ricardo Correia ( Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Oslo )

ABSTRACT: Multiple extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics predict the existence of first order phase transitions occurring in the early Universe, leading to an imprint in the stochastic background of gravitational waves. When the transition occurs at the electroweak scale, this imprint will be in the expected range of LISA. In this talk we explore the gravitational wave production of strong first order phase transitions, seeking to understand the role of fluid non-linearities and their impact on the expected signal. To do so, we employ large scale simulations of two transitions: one preceded by a detonation, another by a deflagration. We then study the evolution of vortical and compressional modes, how they are intrinsically related and what their respective impacts are on the expected gravitational wave background signal. We also study the relationship of the rate of emission of gravitational wave power with non-linear decay of flow.

Place: Aula 1.A1 (Faculty of Science & Technology, Leioa, UPV/EHU)

Title: Gravitational-Wave Astronomy

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Juan García-Bellido (IFT-UAM Madrid)

Abstract:

Ten years ago, a laser interferometer detected, for the first time in history, gravitational waves originating from a distant cataclysmic event associated with the merger of two massive black holes, GW150914. The energy emitted in just a few milliseconds by that single event was equivalent to 50 times the power of all the stars in the observable universe combined. Today, we have detected around 300 events similar to GW150914, and a new era has just begun: the era of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy. With the help of a network of laser interferometers in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and India, we can localize sources within one square degree in the sky, at distances of billions of light-years. These exquisite and delicate detectors open a new window onto the universe, where space-time waves, rather than light (electromagnetic waves), provide us with complementary information and help us understand the origin and evolution of our universe. I will review recent gravitational-wave detections and how their properties are challenging our understanding of the nature of dark matter and the current rate of expansion of the universe.

Date: Wednesday, Apr. 15, 2026

Time: 11:40 am

Place: Aula 1.A1 (Faculty of Science & Technology, Leioa, UPV/EHU)

Title: Quantum links between quantum computers

Speaker: Prof. Juan José García Ripoll (IFF-CSIC)

Abstract:

Modern quantum computers are powerful, but today they are still small and isolated. A natural question is: can we connect different quantum processors and make them work together, like nodes in a network? In this talk I will explain how quantum information can be sent from one quantum processor to another using light as a messenger. This process, known as quantum state transfer, has already been demonstrated in several experiments, using both atoms and superconducting circuits. After introducing the basic idea, I will show how this transfer can be understood in simple terms and how it can be improved. By carefully designing how quantum information is converted into light, transported, and absorbed again, it is possible to build reliable links between distant quantum devices. These ideas open the door to distributed quantum computation and to future quantum networks where information is shared and processed across multiple machines.

Bringing Quantum Mechanics to High School Students

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 09:15:55 +0100

A menudo la imagen de la mecánica cuántica que llega al publico general está lejos de la teoría física que describe el comportamiento fundamental de la materia y de la energía. Miembros del EHU QC en el campus de Álava han puesto en marcha una serie de charlas dirigidas a alumnos de bachiller en las que explicarán, de forma amena pero rigurosa, los fundamentos de la mecánica cuántica, así como las tecnologías cuánticas que se están desarrollando hoy en día. La iniciativa surge con la colaboración de Urkide Ikastetxea y Miguel de Unamuno BHI, donde ya se han organizado charlas este curso, y desde EHU QC esperamos que más centros se sumen al proyecto en el futuro.

Vortices in superconducting magic angle graphene

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 11:57:44 +0100

Date: Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025

Time: 11:40 am

Place: Aula 1.A1 (Faculty of Science & Technology, Leioa, UPV/EHU)

Title: Vortices in superconducting magic angle graphene

Speaker: Prof. Vadim Geshkenbein (ETH Zurich)

Abstract:

Superconductors only a few atoms thick offer an exciting platform for studying quantum phenomena in two dimensions. A major challenge is observing vortices—tiny whirlpools of supercurrent—which are central to understanding how these materials work. In bulk superconductors, vortices create measurable magnetic fields and can be imaged with various techniques. However, in atomically thin films, vortices produce almost no magnetic field, making them nearly impossible to detect directly.

Simulating Waveguide QED with Atomic Matter Waves

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 13:08:45 +0100

Date: Wednesday, Dec. 11th, 2024**
Time:** 11:40 am**
Place:** 1.A1 (Faculty of Science & Technology, UPV/EHU)****
Title: Simulating Waveguide Quantum Electrodynamics with Atomic Matter Waves
Speaker: Dominik Schneble

(Department of Physics & Astronomy, Stony Brook University, NY, USA)

Abstract:

Understanding and harnessing light-matter interactions in novel contexts is central to the development of modern quantum technologies. One example is the emerging field of waveguide quantum electrodynamics (wQED) which investigates the coherent coupling between one or more quantum emitters and an engineered low-dimensional photonic bath. While recent wQED experiments have observed modified spontaneous emission, bound-state mediated interactions, and superradiance, a clean access to the underlying mechanisms often remains challenging. We approach wQED with an unconventional platform in which artificial quantum emitters, realized with ultracold atoms in an optical lattice, undergo spontaneous radiative decay by emitting single atoms, rather than single photons. I will introduce the unique aspects of our matter-wave platform and present some recent work on simulating radiative many-body effects at the boundary between atomic physics, quantum optics, and condensed-matter physics.

Introduction to Information Theory: Foundations and Applications

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 12:33:56 +0100

The general idea is to provide an overview of the basics of classical and quantum information theory. We start by discussing the two basic theorems whose introduction founded the field, known today as Shannon coding theorems. After this, we discuss some aspects of the quantum version of the theory, followed by some consequences like cryptography and quantum computation, especially quantum algorithms. Finally, we discuss some recent applications.
