Description
I will discuss recent work that draws on ideas from network science, quantum mechanics, and mathematical physics more generally. I will discuss networks with complex edge weights and explore, using tools such as quantum walks, how they differ from networks with real-valued weights. I will mention examples from network-science topics such as node centrality (i.e., importance), coupled-oscillator models and opinion dynamics, and clustering-induced localization. I hope to present some ideas that others at Nordita, SU, and their neighbors will enjoy exploring further with me.
