Integrability in Quantum Mechanics
Phys10 Undergraduate Seminar Series - on Teams
Pedro Vieira
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
Most theories are too complicated and we can not solve them. Usually we use perturbation theory instead (or cry). We can do better sometimes for so-called integrable theories. I will describe what these are and how they show up in real materials and even in string and quantum field theories.
This talk is geared toward an upper year audience; as always, everyone is welcome to attend.

From Astro to Investing: transferring scientific skills to new fields
Phys10 Undergraduate Seminar Series - on Teams
Kartik Talwar
This week in Phys 10 we have waterloo physics alumni Kartik Talwar coming to present. You may recognize Kartik's name from being a Forbes 30 under 30 recipient back in 2018, along with founding Hack the North and ETHglobal.
Ion Trapping
Phys10 Undergraduate Seminar Series - on Teams
Roland Marrero, Post-Doctoral Fellow, IQC
Quantum physics promises a large enhancement in the performance of some next-generation devices, like sensors and computers. Such improvements help coping with the ever-more demanding tasks that we, the users, want them to carry out. Trapped ions offer a mature platform for diverse quantum applications, but this scheme, like any other, is limited by state-of-the-art technology and the imagination of the experimentalists.
Everything a physics degree allows you to do that you didn't think it could
Phys10 Undergraduate Seminar Series - on Teams
Sankarshan Mudkavi, Paytm Labs
A physics degree helps you in the real world in very unexpected ways, whether you're starting your company, building a product, understanding market economies or new technologies (like cryptocurrencies). I will go through how my degree helped me do exactly those 4 things and why I had a much easier time dealing with things completely out of left field where it wasn't my depth of knowledge that mattered but the experience of just reducing problems to their most fundamental aspects.
Photons in Space: the Next Frontier!
Phys10 Undergraduate Seminar Series - on Teams
Katanya Kuntz, Institute for Quantum Computing
These are the voyages of Canada's first Quantum Satellite Mission - the Quantum EncrYption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat). Its upcoming mission: To explore strange new physics, and enable secure communication across Canada and around the world. To seek out new discoveries and new ways to communicate... To boldly send photons where none have gone before!
New Faculty Lecture Series - meet our newest faculty members
