Emergence by infinite symmetry, application to the Nernst effect   By Carlo Trugenberger  SwissScientific Technologies, Geneva, Switzerland   After a generic review of the dynamical symmetry approach to many-body quantum states, I will focus on infinite-dimensional symmetries of quantum Hall states, 2D superconductors and superinsulators. The infinite number of constraints accounts for the robustness of these…

Solid friction: heterogeneities and rupture arrest What happens at the interface between two solid bodies in contact when they start sliding? This problem has important implications to various fields such as engineering, where the challenge is to control friction, or earthquake dynamics, where prediction of earthquakes occurrence and magnitude is crucial. Experimentally, the transition from…

Jeudi 29 Avril 2021 à 11h, Arnab Pal (Tel Aviv University) nous parlera de « Uncertainty relation for enzymes, resetting systems, and other processes with irreversible transitions ».   The thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) shows that the fluctuations of currents are bounded from below by the inverse entropy production. When one or more transitions are…

 La 24ème Journée de Chimie Organique et Chimie Organique Biologique de la Montagne-Ste-Geneviève   se tiendra en mode hybride à l’Institut Curie (11 rue Pierre et Marie Curie, 75005 Paris, Amphithéâtre Hélène Martel-Massignac) et par visioconférence le 11 juin 2021.  Cette journée scientifique destinée aux jeunes chercheurs a pour but de leur permettre d’exposer leurs travaux…

The C3M Unit is organizing an open international visio-conference on Thursday 6 May at 9.30 am. We will virtually welcome Pr. Gi-Ra Yi (South Korea), who will talk about Index-Matched Composite Colloidal Crystals of Core–Shell Particles for Strong Structural Colors and Optical Transparency.    Speaker: Gi-Ra Yi Department of Chemical Engineering Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Pohang, Gyeongbuk, 37673 Republic…

Non-thermal photo-induced metallic phase emerging from nanoscale complexity in correlated quantum materials   Claudio Giannetti Università Cattolica Brescia   The interplay between electronic and lattice degrees of freedom in correlated materials often leads to spontaneous nanoscale architectures, which can favour and stabilize photoinduced emergent states with no counterpart at equilibrium. State-of-the-art light excitation protocols offer…

On Monday 10th May at 11:30, we will have the pleasure to listen to a duo of speakers Tamara Ben Ari (INRAE) and Olivier Berné (CNRS) who will talk about a very nice initiative called Labos 1point5 which aims at reducing the environmental footprint of academic research. You will find the abstract and the zoom…

Learning probability distributions from data: applications to Protein Design and predictions of Mutational effects. In this talk I will  introduce the inference of a graphical model, also called Potts model in statistical physics, from sequence data of a protein family . Such models help in establishing the mapping  between the sequence of a protein and…
