摘要:Albert Einstein made pioneering contributions to the special theory of relativity, the statistical mechanics, the quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity. Near to the end of his life, Einstein has two goals to achieve: incorporating the special theory of relativity into the statistical mechanics and applying the quantum mechanics to the general theory of relativity. Despite the second goal called the quantum gravity remains elusive, here we will show how we approached the first goal. By unifying the real time with the temperature into to a complex time, we develop a Lorentz non-invariant approach which not only incorporates the previously known Kampen-Israel Lorentz co-variant formalism into a special case, but also fix its vital problem in any generic cases. We apply our approach to study the non-relativistic superfluid systems in the condensed matter physics, the ultra-relativistic quark gluon plasma phase (QGP) in the particle physics and the black holes in the AdS geometry. Experimental detections in these different systems, especially in the QGP phase are analyzed in details.
个人简介:Prof. Ye received Ph.D from Yale University. After spending nearly 30 years in doing research, teaching and services in leading research universities in US and China, He joined the faculty as a chair professor in physics at the newly found Great Bay university in Dongguan, Guangdong, China in July 2023. He is a condensed matter theorist working on the interdisciplinary field of condensed matter, quantum optics, cold atoms, non-relativistic quantum field theory and conformal field theory. Recently, he has been particularly interested to explore possible deep connections among quantum/topological phases, Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models and quantum black holes from material's point of views.
