Explore the concept of entropic order in quantum many-body systems through this conference talk delivered by Zohar Komargodski at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into advanced theoretical physics concepts as part of a comprehensive program on generalized symmetries and anomalies in quantum phases of matter. Examine how entropy and order parameters interact in quantum systems, building upon the broader context of modern symmetry principles including higher-form, non-invertible, and subsystem symmetries that extend beyond traditional particle and condensed matter physics frameworks. Gain insights into how these concepts relate to the classification and understanding of exotic quantum phases, symmetry-protected topological states, and the role of anomalies in condensed matter settings. Connect entropic ordering principles to current research frontiers in quantum entanglement, conservation laws, hydrodynamics in interacting systems, and their applications to mixed states and open quantum systems.
