Causality constrains the gravitational interactions of massive higher spin particles in both AdS and flat spacetime. We explore the extent to which these constraints apply to composite particles, explaining why they do not rule out…
Gribov's observation that global gauge fixing is impossible has led to suggestions that there may be a deep connection between gauge-fixing and confinement. We find an unexpected relation between the topological non-triviality of the gauge…
The spin connection enters the theory of gravity as a nonabelian gauge field associated with local Lorentz transformations. Normally it is eliminated from making an extra assumption - that of the metricity of the vierbein field. However,…
We study the strong coupling expansion of large $N$ QCD in various dimensions, reformulating the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian on a square lattice in terms of (constrained) one dimensional spin chain models. We study the integrability…

We introduce the spin entanglement entropy (EE) to characterize spin excitations. The scalings of EEs are elaborated as $\ln N$, $\ln N+D_k$ and $2\ln N+D$ for the single-magnon states, two-magnon bound states and two-magnon continuum,…
We present an experimental demonstration of closed-loop quantum parameter estimation in which real-time feedback is used to achieve robustness to modeling uncertainty. By performing broadband estimation of a magnetic field acting on…
We use low-energy effective description of gauge theory/string theory duality to argue that the Kovtun-Son-Starinets viscosity bound is generically violated in superconformal gauge theories with non-equal central charges $c\ne a$. We…
The theory of second order phase transitions is one of the foundations of modern statistical mechanics and condensed matter theory. A central concept is the observable `order parameter', whose non-zero average value characterizes one or…
We define and study kinematical observables involving fermion spin, such as the total spin of a collection of particles, in loop quantum gravity. Due to the requirement of gauge invariance, the relevant quantum states contain strong…
We derive an expression for the relation between two scattering transition amplitudes which reflect the same dynamics, but which differ in the description of their initial and final state vectors. In one version, the incident and scattered…
In this talk I review and generalize an idea of Seiberg that an N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory shows confinement without breaking of chiral symmetry when the gauge symmetry of its magnetic dual is completely broken by the Higgs effect. It…
Symmetries and quantum anomalies serve as powerful tools for constraining complicated quantum many-body systems, offering valuable insights into low-energy characteristics based on their ultraviolet structure. Nevertheless, their…
Spin-squeezing is a well-established "quantum technology", where well-designed correlations in an ensemble of two-level systems reduce the statistical uncertainty of spectroscopic experiments. This paper reviews some important advances in…
Phases of SU(N) gauge theories in which the global Z(N) symmetry breaks spontaneously to a subgroup Z(L) can be realized by adding appropriate Wilson line terms to the gauge action. These phases are partially confining, in the sense that…
We classify different theories of self-intersecting random surfaces assigning special weights to intersections. When self-intersection coupling constant $\kappa$ tends to zero, then the surface can freely inetrsect and it is completely…
Periodically-driven systems are ubiquitous in science and technology. In quantum dynamics, even a small number of periodically-driven spins leads to complicated dynamics. Hence, it is of interest to understand what constraints such dynamics…
We use Monte Carlo methods to study spinons in two-dimensional quantum spin systems, characterizing their intrinsic size $\lambda$ and confinement length $\Lambda$. We confirm that spinons are deconfined, $\Lambda \to \infty$ and $\lambda$…
The gap equation is a cornerstone in understanding dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and may also provide clues to confinement. A symmetry-preserving truncation of its kernel enables proofs of important results and the development of an…
Dynamical spin-structure factor (DSF) contains fingerprint information of collective excitations in interacting quantum spin systems. In solid state experiments, DSF can be measured through neutron scatterings. However, it is in general…
