This is a short talk I'll give just ahead of my viva to mark the end of my PhD. It will be hybrid in-person/online. The meeting link will be added here later.
__Where__: Room 711C, Floor 7, Huxley Building, Imperial College London \\ __Where__: Room 711C, Floor 7, Huxley Building, Imperial College London \\
__When__: 13:30 - 14:10, December 2nd, 2022 \\ __When__: 13:30 - 14:10, December 2nd, 2022 \\
__What__: This talk will be a gentle introduction to what I've been researching for the last four years. __What__: This talk will be a gentle introduction to what I've been researching for the last four years.
__Abstract__: Large systems of interacting objects can give rise to many different emergent behaviours. Make those objects quantum and the possibilities only expand. Interacting quantum many-body systems, as such systems are called, include essentially all physical systems. Luckily, we don't usually need to consider this full quantum many-body description. The world at the human scale is essentially classical (not quantum), while at the microscopic scale of condensed matter physics we can often get by without interactions. Strongly correlated materials (SCMs), however, do require the full description. Some of the most exciting topics in modern condensed matter fall under this umbrella: the spin liquids, the fractional quantum Hall effect, high temperature superconductivity and much more. __Abstract__: Large systems of interacting objects can give rise to many different emergent behaviours.
