Michael Freedman, Microsoft Station Q – What is quantum computing and why will topology help?
Michael Freedman, Microsoft Station Q What is quantum computing and why will topology help? Friday, September 16, 2011 1 pm Simons Center Main Auditorium Abstract: We are learning how to move information processing from the classical to the quantum realm. To complete this transition we will need a way to do certain operations with unprecedented … Read more
Holographic Fermi Surfaces: The view from the Top Down
Julian Sonner will give a talk, September 8, 2011, titled “Holographic Fermi Surfaces: The view from the Top Down”, in SCGP Room 102 at 11:15am Abstract: Strongly interacting fermions at finite density are infamously hard to treat. Gauge/gravity duality gives a way of studying them in a controlled environment. For such studies to be reliable it is important … Read more
