DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Paul Romatschke (TU Wien)\n\nIn classical physics\, 
 unbounded (or "up-side-down") potentials do not allow for a stable ground 
 state. As a consequence\, unbounded potentials have often been dismissed a
 s not viable for proper unitary quantum theories. Historically\, we have l
 earned that the quantum world often contradicts dearly held beliefs based 
 on classical physics. By contrast\, mathematics has been recognized as a g
 ood guide even when classical intuition fails.  In this talk\, I will use
  well-developed mathematics to explore physical systems with up-side-down 
 and non-Hermitian potentials in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory
 \, with applications to AMO experiments\, high energy physics and Quantum 
 Chromodynamics.\n\nhttps://indico.global/event/18552/
