Quantum Information, Condensed Matter, and Quantum Field Theory

Explore advanced topics at the intersection of quantum information, condensed matter physics, and quantum field theory through this comprehensive seminar series organized by Vasily Pestun and Slava Rychkov at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques. Delve into cutting-edge research presentations covering the classification of gapped ground state phases in quantum spin systems with Yoshiko Ogata, examining how quantum many-body systems can be systematically categorized based on their ground state properties. Investigate exact eigenstates in non-integrable systems and violations of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) through Andrei Bogdan Bernevig's analysis of exceptional quantum states that challenge conventional statistical mechanics assumptions. Master bootstrapping techniques for automorphic spectra with Dalimil Mazáč, learning powerful mathematical methods for constraining and solving quantum field theories. Understand higher Berry phases and diabolical points in many-body phase diagrams through Ryan Thorngren's exploration of topological phenomena in quantum systems and their role in phase transitions. Discover emergent phenomena in condensed matter systems with Peter C.W. Holdsworth's presentation on how collective spin behaviors give rise to charge dynamics. Examine emergent symmetries and anomalies in metallic systems with Dominic Else, extending beyond Luttinger's theorem to understand fundamental constraints on electronic properties in quantum materials.
