Overview
Explore a detailed physics seminar from MIT researcher Ho Tat Lam examining one-dimensional symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases and their relationship with modulated symmetries. Learn about constructing modulated SPT models through decorated domain wall generalization, with particular focus on dipolar symmetry-protected cases. Discover the classification methods using matrix product states and understand the development of response field theories through twisted finite tensor gauge theories. Gain insights into how symmetry generators demonstrate spatial modulations and their implications for topological quantum matter research.
