Quantum Information Processing with Spins and Photons in Semiconductor Circuits
Speaker:Dirk Englund (Jamieson Career Development Professor at MIT)
Abstract:The first part of this talk will review our recent progress in adapting one of the leading PIC architectures—silicon photonics—for various quantum secure communications protocols. The second part of the talk will consider how PIC technology, integrated with quantum memories, can extend the reach of quantum communications using quantum repeater networks.

Properties of the monopole formula
Speaker:Marcus Sperling (University of Vienna)
Abstract:The monopole formula provides the Hilbert series for the Coulomb branch of 3d N=4 gauge theories. After an introduction to Hilbert series, the monopole formula is reviewed. The computation of the Hilbert series can be rearranged and simplified by introduction of two geometric objects: a fan and monoids. This allows to extract various algebraic properties of the monopole formula and the Coulomb branch itself.

Materials and Process Engineering for Space Applications
Speaker:Dr. Katharina Dobes (RUAG Space GmbH, Wien)
Abstract:RUAG Space is the leading European supplier for products in the space industry. The Austrian branch is specialized in supplying on-board electronics and mechanisms as well as thermal hardware for satellites. In the development and manufacturing of space equipment, the selection and control of suitable materials and manufacturing processes is of vital importance. The design and environmental requirements of each individual mission will govern the selection criteria. Materials and processes need to be evaluated and verified for their performance and reliability under the harsh conditions that a spacecraft will encounter during its lifetime. These include (but are not limited to) vacuum, temperature extremes, vibration, radiation, atomic oxygen, long storage and operational lifetime and - for sensitive applications such as e.g. optical systems - also stringent cleanliness requirements.

Hidden symmetries and decay for the Vlasov equation on the Kerr spacetime
Speaker:Jérémie Joudioux (Univ. Vienna)
Abstract:im Rahmen des Literaturseminars der Gravitationsphysik: I will review in this talk the commutator theory for the transport equation on curved spacetimes, and suggest, as an application, the derivation of an integrated energy decay for massless Vlasov fields on Kerr black holes. This work is a direct application of the work by Andersson and Blue (Ann. Math. 15) for the wave equation, combined with the commutator theory for the transport equation developed by Fajman, Joudioux and Smulevici. This is an ongoing work in collaboration with Pieter Blue.
