Dr. Fabian Grusdt Colloquium - VIA ZOOM

Dr. Fabian Grusdt from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München will present a colloquium to the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

Talk Title and Abstract:

New paradigms from confinement in quantum matter — from superconductivity to quarks with quantum simulators 

Recent advances in quantum simulation, in a range of experimental platforms, allow for unprecedented microscopic studies of strongly correlated quantum matter. This provides a new perspective on long-standing problems of theoretical physics, such as the origin of high-temperature superconductivity or confinement of dynamical matter in lattice gauge theories. In this talk I will give an overview of experimentally accessible signatures of confinement, both in strongly correlated quantum matter described by the Fermi-Hubbard model, and in simple gauge theories in one and two dimensions, supporting topological order. I will also describe how confined constituents in the context of high-temperature superconductivity lead to a change of paradigms, supporting universal few-body physics, the possibility of near-resonant d-wave attraction, and changes of Fermi-surface properties. Based on these insights, the next generation of experiments will enable a complimentary view on strongly correlated quantum matter.
