Cake club at IMADA – for all Data Science students and teachers hungry for cake! And now with more cake!
The Cake Club is a new and cozy initiative that meets four times each semester with free coffee, cake, and great company.So if you study Data Science, you are invited.Remember to bring your fellow students (lecturers are also welcome).The club meetings are held at the IMADA Forskertorv.You can read more in the Facebook group IMADA-students.
QM Research Seminar: Ricci flat metrics from GLSM with a shadow, and generalized CY ansatz
Speaker: Ondrej Hulik (Heidelberg University).Abstract: GLSM models describe a large class of interesting geometries as symplectic quotients. However, they generally cannot produce a Ricci-flat metric on the quotient space. I will present a new construction/extension of standard GLSM techniques that circumvents this problem. Furthermore, using toric geometry, I will explain how this method is related to the Calabi–Yau ansatz known in the literature.
QM Research Seminar: When do anomalous finite symmetries in (3+1)d enforce gaplessness?
Speaker: Matthew Yu (University of Oxford)Abstract: I will explain a comprehensive framework for characterizing the infrared (IR) phases of a fermionic QFTs in (3+1)d, based on their quantum anomalies associated with a finite symmetry. We uncover a fundamental dichotomy among these anomalies: the first class of anomalies can always be realized by symmetric gapped states, while the second class can never be realized by gapped states without breaking the given symmetry, establishing the phenomenon of symmetry-enforced gaplessness in these settings. Using the construction of symmetry extension afforded to us by new developments in fusion 2-categories, we construct the candidate gapped states that theories with the first class of anomalies can flow to in the IR. As an application, I will provide examples of concrete predictions for the candidate IR phases of (3+1)d gauge theories based on our results.
Teaching that strengthens students’ wellbeing, motivation and learning
In this event we will look at how teaching can help spark students’ individual learning awareness and build engagement to help foster a strong learning community between our students.

PhD defence @IMADA: Katrine Bergkvist Borch
Katrine Bergkvist Borch defends her PhD thesis at a public lecture: “Fra monstrøs metode til didaktisk værdi: Æstetik, omsorg og naturbaserede læringsmiljøer i naturfagsundervisning?”.The chairman of the assessment committee, Associate Professor Michael Paulsen, will act as chairman at the defence.The PhD defence takes place in U221 (V16-700a-0).All are welcome.
Observe Team-Based Learning (TBL) in practice at SUND
Curious about how Team-Based Learning (TBL) works in large classes? You now have the opportunity to visit SUND and observe TBL in practice.
Meeting of the Teaching Coordination Group for the teaching committees at IMADA
Meeting notice with time and agenda will be sent by email.
QC Research Seminar: Repeated ancilla reuse for logical computation on a neutral atom quantum computer
Speaker: Daniel Stack (Atom Computing)Abstract: This talk will describe recent progress on neutral-atom-based quantum computation at Atom Computing Inc. These results are enabled by a flexible platform capable of large qubit numbers, high-fidelity gates, arbitrary qubit connectivity, and mid-circuit measurement. I will describe how these features can enable circuits with large numbers of physical and logical qubits. I will also present recent demonstrations of techniques for reusing and replenishing qubits after mid-circuit measurement—key steps for enabling the execution of long error-correcting computation despite atom loss.
