Title: Measurement driven modeling of quantum and classical dynamical systems
Speaker: Denyis Bondar, Princeton University
Abstract: In this talk, we will provide an answer to the question: “What kind of observations and assumptions are minimally needed to formulate a physical theory?” Our answer to this question leads to the new systematic approach of Operational Dynamical Modeling (ODM), which allows to deduce equations of motions from time evolution of observables. Using ODM, we are not only able to re-derive well-known physical theories, but also infer novel physical dynamics (and solve open problems) in the realm of non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics.
