Fractionalization in Fractal Dimensions - Chiral Kitaev Spin Liquids and Majorana Metals on a Sierpinski Gasket

Explore fractionalization phenomena in fractal dimensions through this 54-minute research presentation examining chiral Kitaev spin liquids and Majorana metals on a Sierpinski gasket. Delve into advanced quantum physics concepts as the speaker investigates how quantum many-body systems behave when confined to fractal geometries, focusing specifically on the emergence of exotic quantum phases and fractionalized excitations. Learn about the theoretical framework connecting spin liquid states, Majorana fermions, and fractal structures, while examining the unique properties that arise when traditional condensed matter physics meets non-integer dimensional systems. Discover how the Sierpinski gasket's self-similar structure influences the formation of chiral spin liquid phases and the behavior of Majorana quasiparticles, providing insights into novel quantum states of matter that could have implications for topological quantum computing and fundamental physics understanding.
