Physics and Astronomy Colloquium
A simple model of many-particle quantum entanglement: how it describes black holes and superconductors
Presented by Subir Sachdev
Long-range, multi-particle quantum entanglement plays a fundamental role in our understanding of many modern quantum materials, including the copper-based high temperature superconductors. Hawking's quantum information puzzle in the quantum theory of black holes also involves non-local entanglement. I will describe a simple model of many-particle entanglement which has shed light on these distinct fields of physics.
