No-signalling assamblages beyond quantum mechanics: when quantum theory can generate extremal points in a post-quantum framework
Wednesday, 6 April 2022 @ 12PM in 149 Keck Center, or join us on Zoom. Abstract: It is well known that in the language of no-signaling boxes – consistent families of probabilites representing measurement correlations – the following three sets: local deterministic, quantum and no-signalling constitute the increasing sequence with strict inclusions. Moreover the outer

Exploring Quantum Mysteries Drives Chapman Institute Toward Breakthroughs
Ever since high school, Andrew Jordan has been fascinated by the promise and possibilities of quantum mechanics. So much so that he has devoted his professional life to the study of matter and light on the atomic and subatomic scale. Decades later, the field still amazes him. “Part of the excitement is that things in
How to recover a moment of a magnetization vector from a magnetic field?
Wednesday, 16 March 2022 @ 12PM in 149 Keck Center, or join us on Zoom. Abstract: In this talk, we are interested in techniques to recover the moment of magnetization given measurements of the magnetic field. We introduce the notion of inverse problems and we write the question of moment recovery as an inverse problem.
Welcome John Howell!
Dear IQS members, We are delighted to announce that John Howell will be joining us here as a new faculty member at Chapman University in the coming summer. John is an expert in quantum optics, quantum information, precision measurements, and all manner of optical imaging. An overview of his work is on his Google scholar
Non-Markovian wave-function collapse models are Bohmian theories in disguise
Wednesday, 9 March 2022 @ 12PM in 149 Keck Center, or join us on Zoom. Abstract: Spontaneous collapse models models and Bohmian mechanics are two different solutions to the measurement problem plaguing orthodox quantum mechanics. They have a priori nothing in common. At a formal level, collapse models add a non-linear noise term to the
"Implications of action principles for quantum foundations"
Thursday, March 3rd, 2022, 11 AM, Keck Center 149 Join us on Zoom. Abstract: The classical action has been intertwined with quantum theory for over a century, but the connection between the two continues to be unclear. Is the action meaningful in its own right, or just a “trick” for generating dynamical equations of motion?

IQS Seminar: Quantum Galaxies
Monday, December 13th, 2021, 12 PM, Keck Center 149 https://chapman.zoom.us/j/96152234419?pwd=YXRvdVhPWnkrU0dWZlBkeG9kSk9EUT09 Abstract: All matter, visible and dark, had to originate from some mysterious event in the early universe-baryogenesis and dark-genesis. This necessary physics goes beyond our standard cosmology and the standard model of particle physics. In this talk, I provide a pedagogical introduction to cosmic inflation,

IQS Seminar: Quantum Computing at the Speed of Light
Location: Room 149 of the Keck Center Time and Date: Wednesday, Nov. 3, at 4pm. https://chapman.zoom.us/j/99926295635?pwd=Vlgwd0wvM1VwV0xQcHNmMHM1UWdvZz09 Meeting ID: 999 2629 5635 Abstract: Physical advantages to building a quantum computer out of optical frequency photons include: they suffer negligible environment decoherence even at room temperature, there is no cross talk, they network easily into arbitrary
