摘要：
In the Higgs potential of the standard model, it is known that the electroweak phase transition in the early universe is a crossover. However, the phase transition can occur as first-order when new physics effects contribute to the potential. lf the first-order phase transition took place in the early universe, the graitational waves are produced by bubble collision. Since theenergy of gravitational waves depend on the shape of the potential，it may be possible to explore the new physics effects in the potential through their observations. However, the spectrum of gravitational wave from first-order phase transition has some theoretical uncertainties. In this talk, we focus on some models beyond the standard model as an example, and discuss testaibility of them through the obseration of graitational wave. We take into account theoretical uncertainties, particularly those arising from renormalization group running effects, in the GW spectrum and discuss how precisely new physics effects can be probed.

摘要：
给定一个复杂系统的部分观察，如何高效地按照符合给定观察的条件分布进行模拟/采样？这样的计算采样问题在现代数据分析和机器学习中扮演着非常重要的角色，也有着理论物理学的背景。事实上，计算机科学中经典的约束求解问题，均对应着一个带复杂多体相互作用的粒子系统。因此计算机科学关心的约束求解问题中，解空间的整体几何性质的变化，也对应于物理系统中的相变现象。对于这些相变现象和采样算法的深入理论研究，不仅仅有助于回答“计算问题何时是困难的，何时是容易的”这样的基础科学问题，也在实践应用中证明了其价值。本报告将简单介绍这一研究方向，和一些我们已知的结果。

摘要：
The scattering amplitudes program aims to obtain observables from quantum field theory without cumbersome local formulations such as Feynman diagrams. A key step in this procedure is to determine the constraints satisfied by the on-shell amplitudes, according to the guiding principles of the theory in consideration. Recently a novel group of constraints originated from concepts in quantum information science has been increasingly drawing people's attention. I will first discuss the investigation on the amount of entanglement resulted in particle scattering, and reveal a universal correspondence between entanglement entropy and (semi)-inclusive cross sections. A careful formulation of wave packets for the initial states is essential in arriving at this relation. I will then discuss in the context of particle scattering the notion of magic, which quantifies the computational advantage of quantum states over classical algorithms. Research on this topic is still in its early stage, and can benefit both fundamental physics and quantum information science.

摘要：
Recently, quantics tensor trains (QTT) have been proposed as an efficient numerical tool for quantum field calculations. QTT can handle the coexistence of widely varying length, energy, and time scales while enabling fundamental operations such as Fourier transforms and convolutions in a compressed form.
In this seminar, I will give a blackboard-style talk on recent efforts to solve quantum field problems in the imaginary-time formalism, including the solution of parquet equations and multiorbital impurity models. For those unfamiliar with QTT, I will provide a brief introduction.

摘要：
I will discuss a construction of a family of 1D quantum lattice models that respect unitary fusion category symmetry. This family can be thought of as edge models of 2D symmetry-enriched topological states. An interesting feature of these models is that they often (but may not always) exhibit a gapless critical phase, i.e., a gapless region of codimension zero in the parameter space, due to the presence of fusion category symmetry. I will discuss numerical results of some examples.

摘要：
When the interaction between light and matter is strong enough, photon and matter excitations mix to create hybrid light/matter states called polaritons. Traditionally, their hybrid character has been used to achieve new functionalities in which polaritons are utilized as dressed photons. However, over the last ten years, it has become clear that the strong light-matter coupling regime can be used with an alternative purpose: to significantly modify material properties by dressing the matter excitations. Under strong coupling conditions, it has been shown that energy transport and harvesting in organic materials can be enhanced and that the energy landscape of the molecules can be altered in such a way that photochemical reactions and even ground-state chemical reactions can be modified. This new platform for creating quantum materials has triggered the search for achieving strong light-matter coupling conditions with other types of electronic excitations, such as those associated with excitons in van der Waals 2D materials and perovskite quantum dot solids, among others.
In this seminar I will present the main findings in this brand-new research field, but also our accompanying efforts in the last ten years to developing an accurate theoretical formalism, able to capture the complex and quantum nature of the electromagnetic fields associated with the nanophotonic structures in which polaritons emerge.

摘要：
In this colloquium, we delve into the construction of a potential NREFT (pNREFT), a framework that directly tackles bound state dynamics reimagining quantum mechanics from field theory. Focusing on heavy quarkonia, pNRQCD facilitates systematic definitions and precise calculations for high-energy collider observables.
At the cutting edge, we investigate nonrelativistic bound states in intricate environments, like the newly discovered exotics X, Y, Z above the strong decay threshold and the behavior in out-of-equilibrium scenarios, such as quarkonium suppression in a Quark Gluon Plasma or dark matter interactions in the early universe. Our ability to achieve precision calculations and control strongly interacting systems is closely linked to bridging perturbative methods with nonperturbative tools, notably numerical lattice gauge theories.

摘要：
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are among the most fascinating astronomical phenomena, offering a unique probe into the properties of massive black holes and the nuclear environments of galaxies. In this talk, I will present results from theoretical calculations of the realistic rates of TDEs for both supermassive and intermediate-mass black holes. These results reveal how TDE rates depend on black hole mass, stellar dynamics, and galactic environments. I will also show state-of-the-art simulations of TDE accretion, outflows and emissions, demonstrating how these processes produce the diverse emission features we observe, including Bowen fluorescence lines. Finally, I will discuss the broader implications of TDEs for black hole growth, particularly in the early universe, and their role in shaping galactic evolution. By exploring these results, we can better understand the physics of TDEs and their critical role in the growth of black holes and the evolution of galaxies across cosmic time.
