String-nets at Finite Temperature

Watch a 58-minute lecture from the Quantum Many-Body Physics in the Age of Quantum Information Discussion Meeting exploring string-nets at finite temperature. Presented by Julien Vidal at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, this talk is part of a broader discussion on the intersection of quantum many-body physics and quantum information science. Delve into advanced concepts related to noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, entanglement structures, and information scrambling in quantum systems. Learn how these theoretical frameworks contribute to understanding quantum phases and dynamics in many-body systems, while gaining insights into the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers and the classification of quantum materials for device platforms. The lecture takes place in the Ramanujan Lecture Hall as part of a five-day discussion meeting organized by leading researchers from ICTS-TIFR and IISc, fostering collaborative exchange among experts in quantum physics and information science.
