QFT-GW Journal Club

1 Sept 2025, 13:30 → 31 Aug 2026, 17:30 Asia/Shanghai

1502 (Shing-Tung Yau Center)

QFT-GW Journal Club serves as a forum to explore recent developments in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and Gravitational Wave (GW) theory. The series is held weekly at the Shing-Tung Yau Center and organized by the SEU-QFT Group. Each session is structured in two parts:

• A concise overview of notable recent papers, primarily from the past week,
• A focused, in-depth discussion of selected papers, presented and led by volunteers.

Friday 19 September
