2018 Ta-You Wu Lecture in Physics | Topological Quantum Matter, Entanglement, and a "Second Quantum Revolution"

F. Duncan Haldane, Sherman Fairchild University Professor of Physics and Nobel Laureate (Princeton University)
Wednesday, October 3, 2018
4:10-5:10 PM

While the laws of quantum mechanics have remained unchanged and have passed all tests for the last eighty-five years, new discoveries about the exotic states that they allow, “entanglement”, and ideas from quantum information theory, have greatly changed our perspective, and some believe that a “second quantum revolution” is currently underway. The discovery of unexpected “topological states of matter”, and their possible use for “topologically-protected quantum information processing” is one of the important themes of these developments, and will be described.
