Title:
Topology and Entanglement in Quantum Matter: Past, Present and Future

Speaker:
Ashvin Vishwanath

Abstract:
I will review recent developments in solid state physics that have compelled us to look more deeply at the role of topology and entanglement in quantum many particle systems. This has led to the prediction of entirely new strongly interacting phases and provided insights into existing states. Time permitting, I will discuss recent intriguing applications to graphene sheets twisted at a special `magic angle' where novel insulating and superconducting states have been experimentally observed.
