This talk will explain the notion of topological order and its connection to long range quantum entanglement. We will also discuss the resulting emergent Fermi statistics, fractional statistics, fractional angular momentum, and even fractionalized degrees of freedom. The ZOOM link will be sent on Wednesday morning to the Physics Faculty, Graduate student, PDRA, and AP mailing lists. If you are not on one of those lists and are interested in attending, please email Suzanne Hallihan at shalliha@illinois.edu for the link. |
