Observational Entropic Study of Anderson Localization
Offered By: PCS Institute for Basic Science via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the concept of observational entropy in quantum mechanics and its application to Anderson localization in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the controversial topic of thermodynamic entropy in quantum mechanics and learn why observational entropy has emerged as a promising candidate for providing a clear understanding of this concept. Examine the behavior of observational entropy in the context of localization-delocalization transition for the one-dimensional Aubrey-Andre (AA) model. Discover how observational entropy grows differently in delocalized and localized phases, and how it scales with system size. Investigate the temporal evolution of observational entropy following a quantum quench in various phases. Gain insights into the potential of observational entropy as a tool for studying quantum systems and phase transitions.
