Localization and Instability in Kicked Quantum Matter by David Weld

Explore the fascinating world of kicked quantum matter in this 39-minute lecture by David Weld at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the concepts of localization and instability in quantum systems subjected to external drives. Examine the mechanisms constraining many-body dynamics in Hilbert space, including Many-body localization (MBL), Floquet MBL, Dynamical Freezing, and Hilbert Space Fragmentation. Gain insights into the stability of quantum matter under coherent time evolution and its implications for novel phases of quantum matter in and out of equilibrium. Learn how this research draws from diverse disciplines such as Condensed Matter Physics, Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, and Mathematics, and understand its relevance to the development of stable quantum devices and improved control of quantum systems.
