Black holes have the remarkable property of irreversibility: if you fall into a black hole you can't get out (classically). This immediately suggested a connection with the other famous irreversibility in physics: the law of increase of entropy.…

I will explain how we can search for light Dark Matter by detecting small amounts of phonons in specific crystals. To calculate the scattering rates, we must use methods from computational condensed matter physics within the context of particle…
