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 From: Margaret E O'Meara [mailto:momeara@MIT.EDU] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2014 5:01 PM To: cmt_seminar; chezpierre(a)mit.edu Subject: Reminder: 1/28 Condensed Matter Physics Seminar: Evert van Nieuwenburg Reminder: Condensed Matter Physics Seminar by Evert van Nieuwenberg Tomorrow (1/28) at noon Please join us at noon on Tuesday, January 28th, for a Condensed Matter Physics Seminar by Evert van Nieuwenberg. The seminar will be held in the Duboc Seminar Room (4-331). Please see details below: Speaker: Evert van Nieuwenburg (ETH Zurich) 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.) _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip
