Fractionalization and emergent gauge field in condensed matter

Event Start:

Event End:
2020-02-25T12:30:00
Event Information:

The entanglement pattern of a quantum many-body state can be characterized by quasiparticles and emergent gauge fields, much like those found in Maxwell's theory. These low energy degrees of freedom "emerge" from the quantum structure of the strongly correlated system, and appear to be more diverse and exotic than their elementary constitute.
