[Soft-matter] Soft Matter and Stat Phys Seminar on 20 May 2022

[Maciej Lisicki]

Dear Soft Matter Colleagues and Friends,

On Friday 20 May 2022 at 9:30 AM at the UW Faculty of Physics (Pasteura 5, Warsaw; room 1.40) we are hosting a seminar during which

Yves Pomeau (Ecole Polytechnique)

will give a talk

Statistical physics and the "interpretation" of quantum mechanics

Abstract
The equation of quantum mechanics (Schrodinger and Dirac) are formally deterministic, that seems to forbid to introduce a fundamental uncertainty in the predictions one can make from given initial data, a difficulty in the logic present from the very beginnings of quantum mechanics. I shall explain how to deal with this question by returning to the original paper by Dirac on the emission of photons by an atom in an excited state. This is illustrated by a detailed discussion of the dynamics of a two-level atomic state pumped by a resonant classical field, something representing experimental situations. 

We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, held in room 4.51 (4th floor).
