Vedika Khemani: Non-unitary dynamics via spacetime duality
Virtual eventhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/66879995529?pwd=dHpQb25LSGVZK3ozY243em5tenRWQT09 Meeting ID: 668 7999 5529 Passcode: 113399 Abstract: The addition of non-unitary ingredients to many-body quantum dynamics has led to a series of exciting developments in recent years, including new out-of-equilibrium entanglement phases and phase transitions enabled by quantum measurements. I will present recent work in which we show that a duality transformation between space and time on one […]
Shanti Deemyad: Physics of Light Dense Matter: Quantum and Classical Effects in Dense lithium
Virtual eventhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/66879995529?pwd=dHpQb25LSGVZK3ozY243em5tenRWQT09 Meeting ID: 668 7999 5529 Passcode: 113399 Speaker: Prof. Shanti Deemyad, University of Utah Restricting the volume of a material, through application of pressure, changes the dominance of interactions within the material, and exposes unnatural states of matter not found in our predominantly adiabatic universe. One of the most exotic phenomena in […]

Cory R. Dean: Towards realizing twistronics on demand
Virtual eventTitle: Towards realizing twistronics on demand Speaker: Cory R. Dean, Department of Physics, Columbia University Abstract: The ability to isolate atomically thin crystals, such as graphene, boron nitride, and the transition metal dichalcogenides, and then mechanically layer them to form new heterostructures has driven a recent revolution in materials design. These layered structures are held […]
Sinéad Griffin: Searching for New Matter
Virtual eventTitle: Searching for New Matter Speaker: Sinéad Griffin, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Abstract: The past decade has seen a huge surge of interest in matter that cannot be described by our standard theories such as Landau-Ginzburg theory or the Standard Model. For example, the theoretical proposal and subsequent experimental realization of topological phases in […]
