Seminars

On an irregular basis various Special Seminars take place at the MPQ. The seminars are organized by scientists of our divisions, administration or staff representatives. The location will be announced with the event.
Host: MPQ, Theory Division

Characterizing many-body states at finite temperature via a Klein twist (Dr. H.-H. Tu)

In this talk, I will describe an ongoing work on how universal data for distinguishing different phases may be extracting from thermal states of quantum many-body systems. [more]

Quantum chaos, thermalization, and many-body Anderson localization (Prof. David A. Huse)

Bipartite charge fluctuations in Z_2 topological insulators and superconductors (Dr. L. Herviou)

Bipartite charge fluctuations (BCF) have been introduced to provide an experimental indication of many-body entanglement. They are a very efficient and useful tool to characterize phase transitions in a large variety of charge-conserving models in one and two dimensions. ... [more]

Non-symmorphic route to nodal semimetals (Tomas Bzdusek)

Nodal semimetals are materials in which the conduction and the valence bands touch at points or lines in the Brillouin zone. Such nodal band structures manifest themselves in unusual transport phenomena as well as in topologically protected surface states. ... [more]

Understanding Contextuality as a Quantum Computational Resource without Wigner Functions (Dr. J. Bermejo-Vega)

A central question in quantum computation is to identify the resources that are responsible for quantum speed-up. Quantum contextuality has been recently shown to be a resource for quantum computation with magic states for odd-prime dimensional qudits and two-dimensional systems with real wavefunctions. ...
