SPECIAL SEMINAR: Pumping (realistic) approximately integrable and many-body localized systems

Abstract:

When an approximate conservation law protects some quantity, even weak driving can cause its strong response. A simple classical example is a greenhouse, which can be heated up significantly even by weak sunlight, due to the approximate conservation of the energy.

SPECIAL SEMINAR: The quantum sounds of electrons and the quantum noise of spinons

Abstract:

The problem of strongly interacting gapless fermions above one dimension is one of the wildest open frontiers in quantum condensed matter where our understanding remains insular and embedded in vast oceans of mystery. In this talk, I will describe certain islands of this knowledge dealing with the collective behaviour of strongly interacting Fermi surfaces of electrons and of spinons and describe new experimental strategies to probe them.
