Entanglement-Based Probes of Topological Phases

Explore entanglement-based probes of topological phases in this comprehensive lecture by Michael Levin from the University of Chicago. Delivered as part of the Focus Weeks Workshop on Quantum Information and Physics at the Institute for Advanced Study, delve into advanced concepts at the intersection of quantum information theory and condensed matter physics. Gain insights into how entanglement can be used to investigate and characterize topological phases of matter, a cutting-edge area of research in modern physics. Over the course of 89 minutes, examine theoretical frameworks, experimental techniques, and potential applications in quantum computing and materials science.
