Mario D’Andrea (UC Berkeley) “Simulating particle physics as a collection of coupled rigid tops”
–
Abstract: What does a collection of interacting rigid tops have in common with the gauge theories that describe our fundamental theories of nature? The answer is: their Hilbert space! In this talk I will go over a basic exercise in quantum mechanics, which is finding the energies and eigenfunctions of a free rigid top. This alone is of interest in … Read More
