Thu, Jun 16, 2016, 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm
The intriguing many-body phases of quantum matter arise from the interplay of particle interactions, spatial symmetries, and external fields. Generating these phases in an engineered system could provide deeper insight into their nature and the potential for harnessing their unique properties.

Wed, Jun 8, 2016, 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm
Spatial symmetries in crystals are distinguished by whether they preserve the spatial origin. I will show how this basic geometric property gives rise to a new topology in band insulators, which we propose (and subsequently discover) to lie in the large-gap insulators: KHgX (X=As,Sb,Bi).

Mon, Jun 6, 2016, 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm
One of the distinctive characteristics of strongly interacting and correlated quantum systems is the non-trivial interplay between low- and high-energy degrees of freedom. The origin of this interplay lies in the electron-electron and electron-boson interactions, which spread the optical spectral weight over a wide energy range.

“Searching for New Phenomena at the Intensity Frontier” Abstract In February of this year the intensity frontier SuperKEKB e+e- collider, located at the KEK laboratory in Tsukuba, came online with its “first turns”, a major milestone in preparing for collisions in 2017. The Belle II detector, located at the SuperKEKB interaction point, will be...

Complex quantum many-body systems are ubiquitous in nature, yet their behaviour often remains very challenging to predict with analytical or numerical calculations - especially when it comes to dynamics.

Special CM Seminar, Shaffique Adam, Yale-NUS, "The role of electron-electron interactions in graphene†"
Wed, May 18, 2016, 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm
About ten years ago, a new electronic material appeared – notable not only for its ease of preparation and theoretical simplicity, but also by its promise for future electronic devices. Single monatomic sheets of carbon, known as graphene, are described as weakly interacting massless Dirac fermions and in many ways, are a textbook system to test...
