Title: How to better measure seismic hazard: insights from earthquake kinematics and dynamics
Speaker: Dr. Kuo-Fong Ma, Distinguished Research Fellow
(Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica)
Place: Science Building III SC162
Time: 1:20pm~3:10pm, May 1 (Thursday)
Title: Open Quantum Systems: Thermometry at the Extremes
Speaker: Prof. Alexander Karl Rothkopf
(Department of Physics, Korea University, South Korea)
Place: Science Building III SC162
Abstract: The study of quantum systems coupled to an environment plays a vital role in how we measure temperatures of the coldest and hottest matter in the universe. The strategy relies on introducing impurities into the system of interest and on observing how these probe particles evolve towards or in equilibrium with their surroundings, from which we may in turn deduce the thermal properties of that environment. Originally studied in the context of condensed matter physics, open quantum systems nowadays provide a common language to research spanning multiple orders of magnitude in temperature, ranging from Bose Einstein condensates made of ultracold atoms to the Quark-Gluon plasma created in ultra-relativistic collisions of heavy ions. This talk builds a bridge from polaron impurities in the former to quarkonium particles in the latter as two manifestations of quantum Brownian motion, a phenomenon ideally described by open quantum systems.

Title: Amplitudes Meets Effective Field Theory: New Results for Gravitational Waves and Particle Physics
Speaker: Professor Chia-Hsien Shen
(Department of Physics, National Taiwan University)
Place: Science Building III SC162
Time: 1:20pm~3:10pm, March 20 (Thursday)
Title: Dark Matter Searches in Gravitational Wave Detectors
Speaker: Professor Martin Spinrath
(Department of Physics, National Tsing Hua University)
Place: Science Building III SC162
Abstract: In my talk I will discuss our recent work in studying the prospects to look for Dark Mater in Gravitational Wave Detectors using KAGRA as example. Interestingly, these detectors can probe a parameter region inaccessible to conventional Dark Matter direct searches. If time allows I will also comment on some other peoples work looking for a different kind of dark matter in gravitational wave detectors.
