摘要:

基于热力学第二定律的卡拉西奥多里原理,引入量子热力学可积性(QTI)的概念,为统计力学提供了个现代基础。在这一框架下,温度作为一个积分因子, 伴随着热力学熵衍生出来。从而基于 QTI熵可积方程(EIE),不仅可以推导出正则热平衡态, 而且得到了偏离热平衡的非正则态,从而揭示了有限尺寸热力学系统和有限时间过程中信息相关性的存在,如黑洞等小系统的辐射关联及其信息丢失现象。有限时间热循环过程的标志是熵产生,它导致的功率-效率约束关系, 对此我们不仅进行了系统性的实验检验,而且建立了其最优调控的黎曼几何方法。这些工作代表了我们过去二十年对统计热力学从基础到应用、从经典到量子、从平衡到非平衡的研究探索的系列性成果。

摘要:

Neutrinoless double-beta decay is one of the most interesting nuclear reactions. In this talk, I introduce Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory as a new tool in nuclear theory. It allows to address nuclear structure and reactions simultaneously. I show assorted results obtained so far. In particular, I will address the recent work on triton beta-decay, which is an important first step in addressing neutrinoless double-beta decay in this framework.

摘要:

The projective truncation approximation (PTA) is a systematic and well-controlled method for solving the equation of motion of two-time Green's functions for many-body system. It has advantages over the conventional Tyablicov truncation sheme due to the projection idea. In this talk, I will report recent progress in the developement of PTA, including (1) H-expanded basis for describing thermal decay of particles, and (2) composite basis for describing quasi-particle interaction and collective excitation.

摘要:

In this talk I will present our efforts to go beyond the "standard" model of the quantum spin liquid, which was formulated as a gauge theory. The new formulation is a Landau-type effective theory. Both quasiparticle-like excitations and collective modes will be discussed, as well as their physical consequences.

摘要:

I will discuss primordial universe scenarios where the inflaton is weakly coupled to a strongly-self-interacting theory, and study the imprints in cosmological correlators. There are three general scenarios for the strongly coupled sector based on its mass gap in Hubble units. I will focus on the gapless scenario, which I fully solved, and will discuss two approaches to computing its correlators: the Cosmological Bootstrap and Mellin-Barnes integration. Finally, I will compare the signals to weakly coupled scenarios and comment on the potential to distinguish them.

摘要:

The ponderomotive force is an effective static force that a particle feels in an oscillating field, whose static potential may be called the ponderomotive potential. We generalize this notion to periodically driven quantum many-body systems, and propose it as a convenient tool to engineer their non-equilibrium steady states beyond the single particle level. Applied to materials driven by light, the ponderomotive potential is intimately related to the equilibrium optical conductivity, which is enhanced close to resonances. We show that the ponderomotive potential from the incident light may be used to induce exciton condensates in semiconductors, to generate attractive interactions leading to superconductivity in certain electron-phonon systems, and to create additional free energy minima in systems with charge/spin/excitonic orders. These effects are presented with experimentally relevant parameters.

摘要:

Tiny neutrino masses and large lepton flavor mixing angles areexpected to originate from new physics bevond the standard mode(SM) of particle physics, but which kind of new physies is mostlikely has been an open question. This talk is intended to highlightthe canonical seesaw mechanism as a favorite, given the lessonlearnt from historical roles that lepton fayors haye plaved in thedevelopment of the SM. Some personal opinions are added on painsand gains in introducing new degrees of freedom.

摘要:

The absence of signals for new heavy resonances at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) suggests that the scale of new physics(NP) likely significantly exceeds the electroweak scale. The Standard Model Effective Field Theory(SMEFT) has become avaluable framework for systematically capturing potential NP effects, with leading contributions expected from dim-6 operators. However, chirality-flipping dim-6 operators for light fermions,which are poorly constrained as their interference with the SM will be highly suppressed. In this talk, l will discuss recent progress in exploring these NP effects through transverse polarization effects without such suppression, and it also offering a new avenue to investigate potential CP violation effects.

摘要:

Wave effects are a crucial aspect of gravitational waves. When the wavelength of GWs is comparable to or greater than the Schwarzschild radius of an object, the propagation of gravitational waves no longer follows geometrical optics, and coherence and interference can occur. Despite their significance, studying these wave effects can be challenging due to their complexity.

In this talk, I will discuss numerical techniques for simulating these effects in the gravitational field of a Schwarzschild black hole. I will talk about the back-scattering effect of the interaction between GWs and the background curvature. Finally, I will discuss the potential detectability of these wave effects in aLIGO.
