| Abstract: | This is the second edition of the General Relativity from AMPlitudes Alliance (GRAMPA) workshop, whose primary goal is to support early-career researchers working in the field of scattering amplitudes applied to gravitational theories. The main theme of the workshop is to use of innovative techniques from the field of scattering amplitudes and beyond to study aspects of gravity relevant to upcoming gravitational wave experiments. There will be talks from GRAMPA members on aspects of their work in this field, as well as two short pedagogical lecture series by faculty researchers. The workshop will provide fertile ground for knowledge exchange between communities, foster new collaborations among early career researchers, and map out the shared future research directions of the communities. The structure of the workshop will follow closely our previous meeting: 2 series of lectures in the mornings and seminars in the afternoons. | |

| Abstract: | One of the most surprising findings of quantum physics is wave-particle duality. However, having a closer look at our theories, we see that do not really use the same formalism to describe photons and quantum mechanical particles. To increase wave-particle duality, we recently introduced a local photon approach [1] which allows us to design locally acting mirror Hamiltonians. Our approach also allows us to define the momentum of light as in quantum mechanics as the generator for spatial translation. When analysing the momentum dynamics of photonic wave packets which transition from air into a dielectric medium, we gain new insight into the Abraham-Minkowski controversy [2]. Although our results align with Minkowski’s theory, there are also some crucial differences. [1] D. Hodgson, J. Southall, R. Purdy, and A. Beige, Local photons, Front. Photon. 3, 978855 (2022).

| Abstract: | Normal liquid 3He inspired Landau’s Fermi liquid theory. What has been overlooked, however, is that fact that the agreement between this theory and the experimental data is restricted to very low temperature. On the other hand, the experimentally measured thermal conductivity can be explained as the sum of two contributions: one by quasi-particles and another by sound [2]. The first component has been known for decades. The second is known as zero sound [2], but in the hydrodynamic limit, when the collision rate exceeds the sound frequency. Propagation of heat by sound in a quantum liquid shall not be a surprise given the longstanding relevance of the Bridgman formula for thermal conductivity of classical liquids [3]. The case of 3He has implications for understanding the temperature dependence of transport coefficients in metals, ordinary or strange. [1] K. Behnia & K. Trachenko, Nature Commun. 15, 1771 (2024).

| Abstract: | Fractional quantum Hall states are strongly interacting states of two-dimensional electrons moving in a high magnetic field. It has recently been found, theoretically and experimentally, that fractional quantum Hall fluids accommodate a quasiparticle excitations carrying spin equal to 2. I will describe the general theoretical arguments leading to this conclusion. I will also show that the existence of this spin-2 mode explains a strange feature of the numerical data on the spectrum of quantum Hall systems on a sphere. | |

| Abstract: | The interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity is one of the most profound open problems in fundamental physics. After decades of purely theoretical investigations, recent experimental advances turned the prospect of a phenomenological approach into a realistic possibility. On the one hand, searches for quantum gravity effects in astrophysical signals constitute nowadays an established field of fundamental research. On the other hand, table-top experiments with quantum systems are now advancing fast towards understanding the role of gravity in quantum systems and testing the possibility that gravity itself is quantized. Investigating the interface between high-energy quantum gravity and quantum aspects of gravity in the low-energy regime, using both theoretical and experimental tools, can provide complementary clues towards the construction of a phenomenologically viable theory of quantum gravity at all scales. In this talk, I will give an overview of the state of the art and key open questions of this research programme and describe the related activities of the COST Action BridgeQG (Bridging high and low energies in search of quantum gravity). | |

| Abstract: | Tensor network states are new kinds of variational wavefunctions that help us to understand quantum phases and phase transitions beyond Landau paradigm. In this talk, I will first review the major development of tensor network simulation in the past two decades. I will introduce the novel concept of long-range entanglement and entanglement renormalization. Then I will discuss the major breakthroughs made by tensor network simulations in recent years. If time permits, I will also mention the relationship between deep learning and tensor network simulation. | |
