Calendar of Physics Talks Vienna

From Matrices to Quantum Geometry
Speaker:Harold Steinacker (Uni Wien)
Abstract:Based on simple examples of quantized spaces described in terms of matrices, we explore the idea that physical space-time might be described in terms of similar quantum spaces and quantum geometry. The emphasis of this talk is to explain how geometry can arise from matrices, based on the analogy with quantum mechanics.

Advanced Infrared and THz beamLine Exploited for Spectrocopy (AILES) and its research program
Speaker:Pascale Roy (Synchrotron SOLEIL, THz and IR beamline AILES, France)
Abstract:At the AILES beamline of SOLEIL synchrotron (France), the combined intensity, stability and wide range (0.2-20 THz) has led to an optimal use of spectroscopy in the Infrared and THz range, hitherto unusable for a wide range of demanding experiments. In particular, condensed matter research under extreme conditions (temperature, pressure, …) and high resolution molecular studies. The coherent synchrotron emission allows an extension to the THz domain for experiments demanding an intense beam such as near field subwavelength microspectroscopy. We will describe the main characteristics of the beamline and will illustrate its performances with applications.
