Visualizing Quantum Matter

PIRSA:14050100

Recently developed techniques allow imaging of electronic quantum matter directly at the atomic scale. I will introduce the basic principles and describe the set of observables available from these techniques. As examples, I will survey visualization of exotic forms of electronic quantum matter including heavy fermions, quantum critical electrons, topological surface states, electronic liquid crystals, and high temperature superconductors.

Studies of relativistic matter in strong magnetic fields attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Such studies are primarily motivated by the phenomenology of compact stars, the evolution of the Early Universe, and the physics of relativistic heavy ion collisions. Additionally, the outcomes of such research result in deeper understanding of a large class of novel condensed matter materials (e.g., graphene and Dirac semimetals. I will review recent surprises, ideas, and the progress made in understanding physical properties of relativistic matter in strong magnetic fields.
Einstein's equations from qubits

PIRSA:14050098

I will outline a path by which a semi-classical geometry obeying Einstein's equations emerges holographically from elementary quantum mechanical objects undergoing local dynamics. The key idea is that entanglement between the quantum degrees of freedom leads to the emergence of a dynamical geometry, that entanglement is the fabric of spacetime. Furthermore, although important technical challenges remain, I will argue that the conceptual ideas are in place. The core of the talk will be two new results that are crucial to this program, one establishing a new representation of entanglement in RG tensor networks and the other showing that the equivalence principle is encoded in the universality of entanglement.

PIRSA:14050096

In this talk I will discuss the analogies between high energy scattering of nucleons and Fermi Liquid theory. In particular I will elucidate the relation between the rapidity renormalization group utilized in such observables as transverse momentum distribution and the effect of Von-Hove singularities on the low energy properties of metals.
Wilsonian and Large N Approaches to Non-Fermi Liquids

Liam Fitzpatrick Boston University

PIRSA:14050095

We study the problem of metals near a quantum critical point using a local Wilsonian effective field theory of Fermi surface fermions coupled to massless boson (i.e. order parameter) fields, in particular in a large N limit where the boson is matrix-valued. We focus on regions of parameter space where the boson dresses the fermions into a non-Fermi liquid while the bosons are approximately controlled by the Wilson-Fisher fixed point.

To the extent that spacetime remains a manifold M on small scales, excitations of the spatial topology can function as particles called topological geons. In a first quantized theory of topological geons (aka continuum quantum gravity without topology change), different irreducible unitary representations of the mapping-class group G of M, yield different superselection sectors of the theory. In some of these sectors the geons behave as fermions, even though gravitons themselves are of course bosons. A still more exotic possibility is "projective statistics", where the operators that permute identical geons only preserve group multiplication up to a phase-factor that cannot be eliminated. (Such a representation must be nonabelian.) I will describe a simple example of this phenomenon with four RP^3 geons.
