H02.00001: AI and High-Energy Physics Invited Speaker: Jesse Thaler Recent advances in artificial intelligence have had an outsized impact on many scientific fields, and high-energy physics is no exception. What is special about high-energy physics, though, is the vast amount of theoretical and experimental knowledge that we already have about many problems in the field. In this talk, I draw on examples from collider phenomenology and quantum chromodynamics to highlight the fascinating interplay between theoretical principles and machine learning strategies.

H02.00002: The Black Hole Information Paradox: A Resolution on the Horizon? Invited Speaker: Netta Engelhardt The black hole information paradox -- whether information escapes an evaporating black hole or not -- remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of theoretical physics. The apparent conflict between validity of semiclassical gravity at low curvatures and unitarity of quantum mechanics has long been expected to find its resolution in the deep quantum gravity regime. Recent developments in the holographic dictionary and in particular its application to entanglement, however, have shown that a semiclassical analysis of gravitational physics has a hallmark feature of unitary evolution. I will describe this recent progress and discuss some potential new avenues for working towards a resolution of the information paradox. [Preview Abstract] |

H02.00003: The Nonperturbative Bootstrap Invited Speaker: David Simmons-Duffin I will review recent developments in nonperturbative bootstrap methods for constraining and solving quantum field theories. [Preview Abstract] |
