Title: Quantum geometry beyond single flat bands and Euler exact projected entangled pair ground states
Speaker: Robert Jan - Slager
Abstract: The past few years have seen a revived interest in quantum geometrical characterizations. Although the metric tensor has been connected to many geometrical concepts for single bands, the exploration of these concepts to a multi-band paradigm still promises a new field of interest. I will discuss a new route involving Plücker embeddings to represent arbitrary classifying spaces, being the essential objects that encode all the relevant topology for any multi-band system. While I will argue that this tool can be applied in contexts that range from response theories to finding quantum volumes and bounds on superfluid densities as well as possible quantum computations, I will in particular also show that they can be used to formulate projector.
Bio: Robert-Jan Slager completed his PhD in theoretical physics at the University of Leiden. After postdocs at the Max Planck institute in Dresden and Harvard University he started as PI in 2019 at the University of Cambridge. Per November 2024 he also full Professor at the University of Manchester.
