Place: Levin building, Lecture Hall No. 8
Lecturer: Prof. Ady Stern (Weizmann)
Abstract:
In this talk, I will review several recent developments in the study of fractionalized states of matter. I will mostly focus on the condensed matter physics side, presenting a theoretical approach to the Fractional Chern Insulator (Fractional Quantum Hall Effect without a magnetic field), its unique properties, and its phase transitions to neighboring phases. I will end with a few comments on the quantum information side, discussing some features of the entanglement hidden in the ground state of a fractionalized phase.
