12. High frequency gravitational waves shining in photons in Galactic magnetic fields

Alessandro Lella (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

High-frequency gravitational waves ($f\gtrsim$ MHz) are a smoking gun for the existence of exotic physics. Indeed, GW backgrounds generated in the early Universe could be characterized by high-frequency signals, allowing one to probe inflation, first-order phase transitions, topological defects and primordial black holes. The lack of current and future gravitational waves experiments...

16. Coexistence of Defect Morphologies in Three-Dimensional Active Nematics

Within a living cell, motor proteins like kinesin are responsible of the transport of intracellular components. The functioning of this active transport is well known, and it has been employed to build synthetic assemblies of microtubules, which are stirred at the level of the single components and evolve out of thermal equilibrium. Such system is a paradigmatic example of an active material,...

3. Multipartite Entanglement and Quantum Frustration

Paolo Scarafile (Napoli)

17/12/2024, 16:50

Frustration is a phenomenon commonly encountered in various domains, from social and psychological contexts to the realm of physics. In particular, the concept of frustration has a significant role in quantum systems, where it describes situations in which the individual components of a system cannot achieve a globally optimal state due to conflicting interactions. This presentation will delve...
