Are Maxwells’ equations intimately related to the quantum vacuum?
Local J-1035 Pavillon J. A. Bombardier, Polytechnique Montréal, Montréal, Quebec, CanadaAbstract: In the talk I will try to convince you that the answer is yes. Maxwell postulated that there can be a current of electric charges in the vacuum. This was needed to turn the equations of electrostatics into a consistent set of quations forming the basis of electrodynamics. We argue that Maxwell’s current are moving virtual elementary particles and their anti-particles in the vacuum. We are using a phenomenological model treating the vacuum as a dielectric. We find this reproduces fairly well the coefficientsand . We also formulated the story in the language of quantum field <a href="http://theory.G" target="_blank" title="theory.G">theory.G Leuchs, M Hawton and LL Sánchez-Soto, Physics 5, 179 (2023)G Leuchs, SPG Mitteilungen 70, 34 (2023)Bio : Gerd Leuchs is Director Emeritus at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen and an adjunct professor within the physics department of the University of Ottawa.

Using the unique properties of data generated through neurological anomalies and disorders, one can use AI methods such as transfer learning from existing knowledge; one-shot and few-shot learning for spiking and sparse data, and hidden Markov models to find underlying relationships and causes of malignant neurological disorders. The speaker will show how the generated data can be captured through smart wearables and phones, how uncovering relationships provides insights for digital rehabilitation, and how using augmented reality and virtual reality provides tremendous potential for cognitive therapy, psychiatric assessments, and rehabilitation.
