Special Colloquium - Marcela Carena

Marcela Carena,
Executive Director, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

 

Abstract:

Prof. Carena will give a special colloquium in the form of a chalk talk where she will discuss her recent research along a few different lines, with major themes of:

• Electroweak phase transitions as the potential origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the early universe, including theoretical inputs like bubble wall velocities to test predictions;
• Linking predictions from particle theory to gravitational wave signatures;
• Incorporating quantum methods and quantum computing to simulate processes in early universe physics.

Timbits, coffee, tea will be served in STI AUD before the colloquium.
