PROF. FABIAN ESSLER: QUANTUM INTEGRABLE MODELS

Join us Thursday (21/11/2024) evening at 17:30 in the martin wood lecture Theatre for a talk by Prof. Fabian Essler on quantum integrable models

Message from Prof Fabian Essler:

I’ll assume that the audience is familiar with 2nd year Quantum Mechanics and then discuss a class of many-particle quantum systems that, surprisingly, can be solved exactly (even though the number of particles can be extremely large and they interact very strongly with one another). I’ll explain what makes these systems “integrable”, and discuss some of the “emergent” behaviour they describe (“quantum number fractionalisation”).

If I have time I’ll talk a bit about recent experiments by Google, which investigates the non-equilibrium dynamics of such systems.
