| Asymptotic symmetries in Carrollian theories of gravity |
| Speaker: | Alfredo Perez (CECS, Valdivia) |
| Abstract: | In this talk, asymptotic symmetries in Carrollian gravitational theories in 3+1 space and time dimensions obtained from “magnetic” and “electric” ultrarelativistic contractions of General Relativity are analyzed. In both cases, parity conditions are needed to guarantee a finite symplectic term, in analogy with Einstein gravity. In particular, it is shown that from the point of view of the asymptotic symmetries, the magnetic contraction can be seen as a smooth limit of General Relativity, in contrast to its electric counterpart. |

| Semiclassically propagating states of quantum clocks are not Gaussian — how and why |
| Speaker: | Magdalena Zych (ARC Centre for Engineered Quantum Systems), Queensland |
| Abstract: | In quantum physics an ideal clock can be modelled as a composite particle whose internal states ‘measure' proper time along the the particle's trajectory. However,quantum particles do do not follow classical trajectories due to Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle(HUP)for position and momentum.A question then arises what are the states of quantum clocks that follow semi-classical paths?In textbooks quantum mechanics,semiclassical states of quantum particles are the well-known Gaussian states derived from minimising the HUP.I will show that for quantum clocks semi-classically propagating states are not Gaussian but a new class of quantum states that are derived from a new uncertainty inequality — for configuration space rather than for phase space variables.I will also discuss some key properties of these states such as the inherent non-separability of their internal and external degrees ... |
