Integrability in Quantum Mechanics

Phys10 Undergraduate Seminar Series - on Teams

Pedro Vieira
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

Most theories are too complicated and we can not solve them. Usually we use perturbation theory instead (or cry). We can do better sometimes for so-called integrable theories. I will describe what these are and how they show up in real materials and even in string and quantum field theories.

This talk is geared toward an upper year audience; as always, everyone is welcome to attend.
