项目摘要

This award funds the research activities of Professor Vladimir Rosenhaus at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York.Chaos, a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, is the extreme sensitivity to small changes which gives rise to the violent churning inside of a smoke plume or behind a rock in a rapidly flowing river. The goal of this project is to better understand how chaos manifests itself at the smallest scales in nature, at the level of fundamental particles. A web of discoveries over the past decade, at the intersection of high energy physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum information theory, have revealed the essential role chaos must play in the eventual solution of one of the deepest problems in physics, of reconciling gravity with quantum mechanics. As a result, research in this area advances the national interest by promoting the progress of science in one of its most fundamental directions: the discovery and understanding of new physical laws. Professor Rosenhaus will search for signatures of chaos in theoretical computations of high energy particle scattering and will develop new models exhibiting many-body quantum chaos. This project is also envisioned to have significant broader impacts. Professor Rosenhaus will mentor graduate students and postdocs who will be involved in the research, develop new special topics graduate courses based on the research, give public lectures, and organize scientific workshops. More technically, Professor Rosenhaus will use chaos as a guide and a theme to better understand the dynamics of quantum field theories, and will study chaos in scattering in quantum field theory. The erratic behavior of many-particle scattering will provide the basis for a new measure of chaos in quantum field theory, which will shed light on nearly-integrable quantum field theories. In the context of string theory, he will compute novel scattering amplitudes of highly excited strings, giving a concrete demonstration of chaos in high energy scattering. In addition, building on the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, new large N models exhibiting many-body quantum chaos will be found and used to gain insight on thermalization and chaos in strongly coupled quantum field theories. Through use of solvable models and conformal field theory techniques, novel examples of quantum turbulent cascades will be found.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项资助纽约城市大学研究生中心的弗拉基米尔罗森豪斯教授的研究活动。混沌是自然界中普遍存在的现象，是对微小变化的极端敏感，它引起烟羽内部或快速流动的河流中岩石后面的剧烈搅动。这个项目的目标是更好地理解混沌如何在自然界最小尺度上，在基本粒子的水平上表现出来。在过去的十年里，在高能物理学、凝聚态物理学和量子信息理论的交叉点上，一系列的发现揭示了混沌在最终解决物理学中最深刻的问题之一--调和引力与量子力学--中必须发挥的重要作用。因此，这一领域的研究通过促进科学在其最基本的方向之一的进步来促进国家利益：发现和理解新的物理定律。Rosenhaus教授将在高能粒子散射的理论计算中寻找混沌的特征，并将开发展示多体量子混沌的新模型。预计该项目还将产生更广泛的重大影响。Rosenhaus教授将指导研究生和博士后谁将参与研究，开发新的专题研究生课程的基础上的研究，公开讲座，并组织科学研讨会。从技术上讲，Rosenhaus教授将使用混沌作为指导和主题，以更好地理解量子场论的动力学，并将研究量子场论中散射的混沌。多粒子散射的不规则行为将为量子场论中混沌的新度量提供基础，这将揭示近可积量子场论。在弦理论的背景下，他将计算高激发弦的新散射振幅，给出高能散射中混沌的具体演示。此外，在Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev模型的基础上，将发现新的表现出多体量子混沌的大N模型，并用于深入了解强耦合量子场论中的热化和混沌。通过使用可解模型和共形场论技术，量子湍流级联的新例子将被发现。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
