Tensor Network Simulation in Strongly Correlated Systems: Past, Present and Future
Zheng-Cheng Gu
11:00am|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: Tensor network states are new kinds of variational wavefunctions that help us to understand quantum phases and phase transitions beyond Landau paradigm. In this talk, I will first review the major development of tensor network simulation...

Bulk Volume Differences as the Holographic Dual of the Index of Boundary Algebra Inclusions
Samuel Leutheusser
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: In the AdS/CFT correspondence, it is of great importance to understand the emergence of bulk geometry from quantum mechanical degrees of freedom on the boundary. Volumes of spatial subregions are key quantities characterizing the bulk...

Symmetry Topological Field Theory for 1+1d Lattice Models and 2+1d Gapped Phases with Categorical Symmetries
Apoorv Tiwari
1:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Non-invertible categorical symmetries have emerged as a powerful tool to uncover new beyond-Landau quantum phases and phase transitions. The general theory of such phases and transitions has been studied systematically primarily in (1+1)d...
