Speaker: Dr. Maresa Rieder Abstract: The topological phases of periodically driven, or Floquet systems, rely on a perfectly periodic modulation of system parameters in time. Even the smallest deviation from periodicity leads to decoherence, causing the boundary (end) states... Read More
Speaker: Dr. Giacomo Guarnieri Abstract: We investigate the fundamental trade-off between current fluctuations and entropy production for systems in non-equilibrium steady states (NESS). We use the technique of non-equilibrium statistical operators of McLennan/Zubarev form and illustrate how the... Read More
Speaker: Professor Yongmin Cho, Sogang University, Korea Abstract: The electroweak monopole in the standard model, the existence, characteristic features, cosmological production, and physical implications are discussed. The discovery of Higgs particle has been thought to be the 'final' test... Read More
Speaker:Dr. Alessandro Romito (Lancaster University) Title: Heat transfer from topologically protected dynamics of Majorana zero modes Abstract: Quantum systems can have degenerate ground states protected against local fluctuations with exponential accuracy in the system size due to topology (as...
