Hubert James Lecture: Topological Quantum Matter, Entanglement, and the "Second Quantum Revolution"

Host: Professor Michael Manfra



Abstract: There is great renewed activity in exploring unexpected properties of quantum mechanics, driven by the possibility of quantum information processing. Among those surprises are "topological quantum states" of condensed matter, which in principle can be used to store and process quantum information, "topologically protected" from decoherence dues to coupling to the local environment. Recently a working "topological q-bit" has finally been announced, and there have been exciting developments in the study of exotic electronic states in 2D materials that could host such q-bits.
