Seminar Link: Picoelectrodynamics Theory Network - YouTube Microscopic polarization and magnetization fields: Towards a “post-modern” theory The response of solids to incident electromagnetic fields is often heuristically described in terms of macroscopic polarization and magnetization fields. In...

Seminar Link: Picoelectrodynamics Theory Network - YouTube Abstract Hyperbolic lattices are a new form of synthetic quantum matter in which particles effectively hop on a discrete tiling of two-dimensional hyperbolic space, a non-Euclidean space of negative curvature. Hyperbolic tilings were studied...

Seminar Link: Picoelectrodynamics Theory Network - YouTube Abstract The discovery of topological materials is one of the most transformative recent breakthroughs in condensed matter physics, revealing new conceptual surprises in established topics such as the phases of matter and the behavior of...

Seminar Link: Picoelectrodynamics Theory Network - YouTube Abstract Over the past three decades, graphene has become the prototypical platform for discovering topological phases of matter. Both the Chern C∈Z and quantum spin Hall υ∈Z2 insulators were first predicted in graphene, which led to a...

Seminar Link: Picoelectrodynamics Theory Network - YouTube Abstract We discuss how the many-body excitation spectrum of topological insulators is affected by the presence of long-range Coulomb interactions. In the one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model and its mirror-symmetric variant, strongly...
