5/1 Open Quantum Systems: Thermometry at the Extremes

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: Dark Matter Searches in Gravitational Wave Detectors

Speaker: Professor Martin Spinrath

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.

12/12 Multi-messenger signals from magnetized core-collapse supernovae

Time: 1:20pm~3:10pm, December 12 (Thursday)

Title: Multi-messenger signals from magnetized core-collapse supernovae

Speaker: Associate Professor Kuo-Chuan Pan
(Institute of Astronomy, National Tsing Hua University)

Place: Science Building III SC157

Abstract:

Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are among the most explosive events in the universe and are the birthplaces of neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes under extreme conditions. CCSNe are also ideal multi-messenger sources, expected to be detected not only through electromagnetic waves but also via neutrinos and gravitational waves.
In this talk, I will present the latest results from our multi-dimensional supernova simulations with self-consistent neutrino transport. In particular, I will focus on how magnetic fields and stellar rotation affect the explosion engine and multi-messenger signals. I will also comment on further searches for gravitational waves from core-collapse supernovae.
