Abstract :
I will briefly
introduce three lines of research which I am presently pursuing.
Axions are a new
kind of fundamental particle, with remarkable properties.
They arise in the
deep theory of time reversal symmetry.
Axions are a leading candidate
to provide the
dark matter in the universe. Anyons are
a new class of emergent particle.
Anyons arise in
special entangled states of two-dimensional matter.
They evade the
traditional division of particles into bosons and fermions.
Entangled
histories encode what we learn by measuring a new class of observables
(temporal
observables).
They give a
precise mathematical embodiment of “many worlds” intuition.
In each case, I
will discuss how we might bring the ideas from virtual reality into
augmented
reality.
