Summary talk at the Lepton-Photon Symposium, Cornell University, Aug. 10-15, 1993.
The possibility of quantum computing has been proposed decades ago, at least as far back as the 1980s, and distributed quantum computing has been studied around two decades ago. Recent times have seen experimental successes and advances in…
This is a list of problems that were collected from participants at the Comparative Prime Number Theory Symposium held at UBC from June 17 to June 21, 2024. Its goal is to stimulate research and future collaborations in this growing field.…
Sources of predictability in the basic laws of physics are described in the most general theoretical context -- the quantum theory of the universe as a whole. (To appear in the Proceedings of the conference on Fundamental Sources of…
This summary talk reviews the LHC 2003 Symposium, focusing on expectations as we prepare to leap over the current energy frontier into new territory. We may learn from what happened in the two most recent examples of leaping into new energy…
These notes are based on a lecture course by L. Chekhov held at the University of Manchester in May 2006 and February-March 2007. They are divulgative in character, and instead of containing rigorous mathematical proofs, they illustrate…
At the occasion of the OECS conference in Madrid, we give a succinct account of some recent predictions in the spectroscopy of a quantum dot in a microcavity that remain to be observed experimentally, sometimes within the reach of the…
There is growing acknowledgement within the software engineering community that a theory of software development is needed to integrate the myriad methodologies that are currently popular, some of which are based on opposing perspectives.…
The past few years have produced major advances in our understanding of the quantum Hall effects---quantized and unquantized. Theories based on a mathematical transformation, where the electrons are replaced by a set of fermions interacting…
The last few decades have seen significant breakthroughs in the fields of deep learning and quantum computing. Research at the junction of the two fields has garnered an increasing amount of interest, which has led to the development of…
This report synthesizes the outcomes of a two-day workshop held in Washington, D.C. in May, 2025 that convened researchers, industry representatives, and government stakeholders to examine the current state and future directions of quantum…
These notes correspond rather accurately to the translation of the lectures given at the Fifth Mexican School of Particles and Fields, held in Guanajuato, Gto., in December~1992. They constitute a brief and elementary introduction to…
This survey paper, written in spanish, is an extended version of lecture notes for a mini-course taught at the 2022 Summer School in Geometric Group Theory, which took place in the Centro de Ciencias Matem\'aticas in Morelia, Mexico in July…
These are expanded notes of a course on basics of quantum field theory for mathematicians given by the author at MIT.
The present status of Unified Theories is summarized with special emphasis on their possible experimental tests. Outline: i) Unification of couplings; ii) Where can a positive signal come from? iii) HERA anomaly and Unification; iv) Recent…
In this talk I summarize the progress achieved in recent years on the understanding of quarkonium properties at finite temperature. Theoretical studies from potential models, lattice QCD, and effective field theories are discussed. I also…
Further formulas are presented involving quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and integrable systems. Modifications of dispersionless theory are developed.
This is the written version of the summary talk given at the 20th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics in Austin, Texas, on December 15, 2000. After a brief summary of some of the highlights at the conference, comments are offered…
