Explore thermal entropy and entanglement transitions through the lens of modular objects in this seminar presented by Dr. Erik Tonni from SISSA. Delve into advanced concepts in quantum field theory as part of the "Quantum field theory with boundaries, impurities, and defects" event at the Isaac Newton Institute. Examine how modular objects provide insights into the behavior of thermal entropy and the nature of entanglement phase transitions in quantum systems. Learn about the mathematical frameworks and theoretical approaches used to understand these phenomena, with particular attention to systems with boundaries, impurities, and defects. Gain exposure to cutting-edge research in mathematical physics that bridges quantum information theory and statistical mechanics, presented in a comprehensive 90-minute format that allows for detailed exploration of complex theoretical concepts and their implications for understanding quantum many-body systems.
