Machine learning the Hohenberg–Kohn functional: breathing life into a 60-year-old dream—Fred HAMPRECHT

In 1964, Hohenberg and Kohn proved that the ground state of an interacting electron system is completely determined by its electron density. In principle, this result promises a dramatic simplification of electronic structure theory: instead of solving for a many-electron wave function in a 3N-dimensional space, one could obtain the ...

Engineering Gravity via Conformal Field Theory—Alejandra CASTRO

Holography posits a radical way to quantify gravitational physics. It claims that all information of a gravitational theory in a region of space can be encoded by a quantum field theory at the boundary of this region. Here I will discuss quantum gravity from this perspective. We will see how ...

Demystifying lattice QCD computations of alpha_s—Martin LÜSCHER

Lattice QCD permits the strong coupling constant alpha_s to be determined from the masses and decay constants of the light hadrons. The precision achieved in these computations is competitive with the one of the world average of the experimental measurements of the coupling and is likely to improve in the ...

Lessons of the effective field theory of quantum gravity—John DONOGHUE

General Relativity is naturally treated as a quantum field theory using the techniques of effective field theory. In this colloquium, I will review the simple ideas behind this treatment and provide examples. This will lead to a discussion of the lessons learned and the limits of the theory. Overall I ...
