DESCRIPTION:Speakers: David M Benoit (University of Hull)\n\nAbstract: Cor
 e-collapse supernovae are among the most energetic events in the universe\
 , producing vast numbers of neutrinos that play a crucial role in the expl
 osion dynamics and synthesis of heavy elements. In these extreme environme
 nts\, neutrinos form a strongly interacting quantum fluid whose collective
  behaviour is challenging to model due to the exponential complexity of th
 e underlying quantum system. In this talk\, I will introduce the physics o
 f supernova neutrinos and present our development of a quantum (+gravity) 
 model of collective neutrino oscillations in the supernova shock region. P
 reliminary quantum computing simulations will be discussed\, including evi
 dence for spectral splitting and the emergence of mean-field behaviour. Th
 is work explores whether large-scale quantum simulations can provide new i
 nsights into neutrino correlations and their impact on supernova dynamics 
 and multi-messenger observations.\n\nhttps://indico.stfc.ac.uk/event/1946/
