Unboxing Quantum: Spooky Action
Virtual eventSpooky Action at a Distance Quantum Entanglement and Spooky Action won the Nobel Prize in physics this year. Once considered a boogieman in physicists' closets, quantum entanglement is one of the weirdest, most unintuitive phenomena in the natural world. Dubbed “spooky action at a distance” by Einstein himself, this quantum behavior puzzled scientists for years […]

CM Seminar: Zac Ward – Disorder as an Order Parameter
Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute Room 311, 2235 East Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, CanadaZac Ward - Oak Ridge National Laboratory Titel: Disorder as an Order Parameter Abstract: The way that materials behave can simply be thought of as a response to what the electrons in the material are doing. Controlling the atoms’ arrangement to one another in a crystal lattice changes where the electrons reside and how they […]
CM Seminar: Professor Romain Vasseur – Anomalous Diffusion in Quantum Spin Chains
Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute Room 311, 2235 East Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, CanadaProfessor Romain Vasseur – University of Massachusetts, Amherst Title: Anomalous diffusion in quantum spin chains Abstract: High-temperature quantum transport is usually assumed to be incoherent and diffusive. In this talk, I will explain how anomalous transport in quantum spin chains can emerge from proximity to special integrable limits, due to a hierarchy of long-lived quasiparticle […]
