Fay Dowker speaks at a Perimeter Institute Public Lecture on November 2, 2011. Black holes are hot! This discovery made by Stephen Hawking ties together gravity, spacetime, quantum matter, and thermal systems into the beautiful and exciting science of "Black Hole Thermodynamics". Its beauty lies in the powerful way it speaks of the unity of physics. The excitement arises because it tells us that there is something lacking in our understanding of spacetime and, at the same time, gives us a major clue as to what the missing ingredient should be. Theoretical physicists at Perimeter Institute and elsewhere are pioneering a proposal, known as Causal Set Theory, for the structure held by these most fundamental atoms of spacetime. In this talk, Professor Dowker describes black hole thermodynamics and argue that it is telling us that spacetime itself is granular or "atomic" at very tiny scales.

Perimeter Institute brings great thinkers from around the world to Canada to share their ideas on a wide variety of interesting and topical subjects. These lectures and debates are aimed at non-specialists. No mathematical or scientific knowledge is necessary or assumed. Each event is explicitly tailored for the general public and everyone is welcome to attend. (...) The laws of physics are usually meant to be set in stone; variability is not usually part of physics. Yet contradicting Einstein's tenet of the constancy of the speed of light raises nothing less than that possibility. I will discuss some of the more dramatic implications of a varying speed of light. João Magueijo is Professor of Physics at Imperial College London. He is currently visiting Perimeter Institute and the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics in Toronto. He received his doctorate in theoretical physics at Cambridge University, and has been a visiting scientist at the University of California at Berkeley and Princeton University. www.perimeterinstitute.ca

Daniel Gottesman - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics Sensitive information can be valuable to others - from your personal credit card numbers to state and military secrets. Throughout history, sophisticated codes have been developed in an attempt to keep important data from prying eyes. But now, new technologies are emerging based on the surprising laws of quantum physics that govern the atomic scale. These powerful techniques threaten to crack some secret codes in widespread use today and, at the same time, offer new quantum cryptographic protocols which could one day profoundly alter the way we safeguard critical information. pirsa.org Perimeter Institute

MIT postdoc, Thomas Vidick lectures on the computational complexity of multiple entangled provers, during the "Recent Progress in Quantum Algorithms" conference. The event was hosted by The Institute for Quantum Computing, and The Perimeter Institute and was held in Waterloo, Ontario, April 11-13th, 2012. Abstract: Ever since its introduction, the computational complexity of the class MIP* of languages having multi-prover interactive proofs with entangled provers has been wide open. While its classical analogue, MIP, was characterized by Babai, Fortnow and Lund in the celebrated equality MIP=NEXP , it was not known whether the introduction of entanglement could lead to a collapse of this equality. We show that MIP* contains NEXP, that is, entanglement does not weaken the power of multi-prover interactive proof systems. Our work also leads to the first constant-factor hardness results on the complexity of multi-player entangled games. Our proof technique is based on an analysis of Babai, Fortnow, and Lund's "multilinearity test" in the presence of entangled provers. I will discuss entangled-prover proof systems and give an overview of our results in the simpler setting of Blum, Luby and Rubinfeld's linearity test, suggesting an answer to the question: what does it mean to say that entangled-prover strategies are "close to linear"? Based on joint work with Tsuyoshi Ito. iqc.uwaterloo.ca twitter.com/QuantumIQC facebook.com/QuantumIQC
