Dear Quanta,

You might remember Evert, a visitor from ETH that presented briefly last Friday in the group meeting. He will be giving a talk tomorrow on his work (noon at 4-331, see below)

You are all invited.

Best,

Yoav

Title:  Mixed State Topology in a non-Integrable Spin-chain

Abstract:

We study a non-integrable spin-chain model with a symmetry

protected topological phase. The question of the stability of this topological phase

when driven out of equilibrium is addressed via a concept similar to the

entanglement spectrum. Before reaching a steady state, the mixed states in the

transient regime remain in a topological phase.

Date:  January 28, 2014

Time:  12:00 noon

Location:  4-331

Host:  Yoav Lahini

(Pizza and soda will be available at 11:45.)
