Speakers: Xiaochuan Lu (University of California, San Diego) Symmetry principles are extremely powerful tools for understanding the properties of physics systems generally, including particle physics. The ideas of symmetry are critical for establishing the Standard Model of particle physics and will guide us towards future discoveries. In this talk, I will explain how to make ... Read more

Speakers: Brian Henning (Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics/UCSB) Strong-coupling phenomena—ranging from exotic meson structures to the rich QCD phase diagram impacting heavy ion collisions, neutron stars, and early-universe transitions—pose challenges that have long eluded our conventional perturbative and lattice tools. In this colloquium, I will present a novel nonperturbative approach based on Hamiltonian truncation (HT), ... Read more
