Explore the fundamental principles of Planckian dynamics in this comprehensive lecture delivered by Harvard University's Subir Sachdev as part of the II School on Emergent Phenomena in Non-Equilibrium Quantum Many-Body Systems. Delve into the theoretical framework that governs quantum systems at the Planckian timescale, where quantum mechanics and thermodynamics intersect in fascinating ways. Learn about the universal behavior of strongly correlated quantum matter, including the emergence of strange metals and their connection to black hole physics. Examine how Planckian dissipation manifests in various condensed matter systems and understand the role of quantum criticality in determining transport properties. Discover the mathematical tools and conceptual approaches needed to analyze non-equilibrium quantum many-body systems operating at fundamental timescales. Gain insights into recent experimental observations of Planckian behavior in high-temperature superconductors and other quantum materials, and understand how these findings challenge conventional theories of quantum transport.
