The next seminar in the series QuantuMalta Seminars will be held on Wednesday 24 October at 12:00 in Room 112 Maths & Physics Building (MP112).
The seminar is entitled Topological Phase Transitions.
Speaker
Claudio Sanavio - University of Malta
Abstract
In the last 30 years a completely new class of critical phenomena have been studied. These new kind of phase transitions cannot be analysed with the usual Landau theory but with properties emerging from the topology of the system. In this talk we will review the concept of topological insulators in two dimensions and the recent applications in quantum optics.
