Public talk: The Potential Impact of Quantum Computers on Society
Speaker:Ronald de Wolf (QuSoft, CWI, University of Amsterdam)
Abstract:This talk considers the potential impact that the nascent technology of quantum computing may have on society. It focuses on three areas: chryptography, optimization and simulation of quantum systems. We will also discuss some ethical apsects of these developments, an ways to mitigate the risks.

Large D gravity and charged membrane dynamics with nonzero cosmological constant
Speaker:Poulami Nandi (IITP Kanpur)
Abstract:We have found a class of dynamical charged `black-hole' solutions to Einstein-Maxwell system with a non-zero cosmological constant in a large number of spacetime dimensions. We have solved up to the first sub-leading order using large D technique where the inverse of the number of dimensions serves as the perturbation parameter. The system is dual to a dynamical membrane with a charge and a velocity field, living on it. The dual membrane has to be embedded in a background geometry that itself, satisfies the pure gravity equation in presence of a cosmological constant. Pure AdS / dS are particular examples of such background. We have also obtained the membrane equations governing the dynamics of the dual charged membrane. The consistency of our membrane equations is checked by calculating the quasi-normal modes with different Einstein-Maxwell System in AdS/dS.
