2007 Moyal Medal

Public Lecture: From quantum fields to ecosystems: dynamics on extended phase-spaces

9 November 2007, 7:00pm in Lecture Theatre E7B-100, Macquarie University, Sydney.

Speaker: Professor Peter Drummond (Univ. of Queensland)

Professor Drummond is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, the Australian Institute of Physics and the American Physical Society.
He was awarded the Massey Medal of AIP/IOP in 2004.

To handle the exotic quantum states in current physics, classical phase-space approaches need to be extended to a non-classical phase space. This method scales linearly with the number of modes, rather than exponentially, so gives rise to viable computer simulations on existing digital computers, thus complementing quantum computer developments. There are novel mathematical ideas here: stochastic gauges, or equivalence classes of weighted stochastic processes. These new methods have much wider applications, including ecosystem dynamics, extinction rates, and statistics of viral genetics.

The lecture will follow the presentation of the Medal at 7.00pm.
There will be a supper, drinks and time for discussion after the lecture.
