Localization and Edge Modes in Open Quantum Systems

Explore the intricacies of localization and edge modes in open quantum systems in this 40-minute lecture by Arijeet Pal from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the stability of quantum matter in and out of equilibrium at various scales, examining mechanisms that constrain many-body dynamics in Hilbert space. Investigate concepts such as Many-body localization (MBL), Floquet MBL, Dynamical Freezing, and Hilbert Space Fragmentation, which underpin novel phases of quantum matter. Gain insights into the interdisciplinary nature of this research, drawing from Condensed Matter Physics, Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, and Mathematics. Understand the practical implications for quantum device stability and the broader field of quantum technologies.
