T. Senthil | Some novel quantum critical phenomena
Показать описание
On December 2-4, 2019 the CMSA hosted a workshop on Quantum Matter as part of our program on Quantum Matter in Mathematics and Physics.
Speaker: Senthil Todadri, MIT
Title: Some novel quantum critical phenomena
Abstract: Despite years of study our understanding of what kinds of quantum critical points can occur and their description is very poor. In this talk I will describe several surprising such quantum critical phenomena found in recent work. Examples include multiple universality classes for the same phase transition, “unnecessary” quantum critical points, and deconfined quantum critical points in 4 space time dimensions.
