Condensed Matter

The FQHE is exhibited by electrons moving on a 2D surface through which a magnetic flux passes, giving rise to flat bands with extensive degeneracy (Landau levels). The degeneracy of a partially-filled Landau level is lifted by Coulomb repulsion between the electrons, which at certain rational fillings, leads to gapped incompressible topologically-ordered fluid states exhibiting the FQHE. Successful model wavefunctions for FQHE states, such as the Laughlin and Moore-Read states, are surprisingly related to Euclidean conformal field theory, even though they are gapped incompressiible quantum fluids with a fundamental unit of area set by the area per magnetic flux quantum h/e. The model wavefunctions are parametrized by a continuously-variable Euclidean metric, just like the Euclidean conformal group of the cft to which they are related. This metric is fixed locally both by the form of the projected Coulomb interaction within the partially-filled Landau level, and by local gradients of the tangential electric field on the 2D surface, promoting it from a static flat metric fixed globally by the cft, to a dynamic local physical degree of freedom of the FQHE fluid with area-preserving zero-point fluctuations that leave an imprint in the ground-state structure function. The curious connection to cft appears to be that the Virasoro algebra plays a fundament role in both cft and FQHE, for apparently-unrelated reasons. In the FQHE it derives from a chiral "gravitional" (geometric) topologically-protected anomaly at the edge of the fluid that is also revealed in the entanglement spectrum of a cut through the bulk fluid.

Alan Turing and the Enigma Machine

James Grime University of Cambridge

October 02, 2013

PIRSA:13100079

Alan Turing was one of our great 20th century mathematicians, and a pioneer of computer science. However, he may best be remembered as one of the leading code breakers of Bletchley Park during World War II. It was Turing's brilliant insights and mathematical mind that helped to break Enigma, the apparently unbreakable code used by the German military. We present a history of both Alan Turing and the Enigma, leading up to this fascinating battle of man against machine - including a full demonstration of an original WWII Enigma Machine!

A humorous look at worst and best practices. We’ll start with anecdotes of bad experiences with curriculum, teaching and learning practices, then move on to some of the best solutions ever seen. Remember, failure is not an obstacle but an open door to better practice.

This episode of The Agenda will examine the question of whether internet creates conditions which will allow for much more of learning to take place outside of traditional classrooms.
From Wonder To Wow: Why The Quantum Age Is Closer Than You Think

Raymond Laflamme

October 01, 2013

PIRSA:13100090

The world around holds amazing properties. What is even more amazing is that we are able to understand them, to control them, and turn them in to technologies. From fire to electricity and magnetism, these properties have been tamed and have transformed society. But what is coming up? What are the properties of nature that will be tamed in the 21st century and impact all of us? Dr. Raymond Laflamme will describe how the quantum world behaves, share the latest breakthroughs and some of the biggest challenges ahead in the quest to build technologies based on quantum properties. Hear how researchers at the forefront of science are navigating and controlling the subatomic realm to develop new technologies that will change the ways we work, communicate, and live.
