CM-AMO Seminar | Symmetry, Topology, and Classifying Quantum "Stuff"
Fiona Burnell (University of Minnesota)
Over the past several decades, topology has emerged as an important part of how we understand materials in the quantum regime, allowing us to identify a new type of phase of matter known as a topologically ordered phase. More recently we have understood that symmetry can act in topologically ordered systems in a way that is quite different from its effect in conventional systems. I will review how topology entered our understanding of quantum matter, and how symmetry acts differently in some of these systems. This will allow us to explore new possibilities for quantum materials with strong inter-particle interactions.
