Course Announcement 8820 "Topological Phenomena in Condensed Matter Physics"

[Lu, Yuanming]

Dear all:

I am writing to announce a special topic course, Physics 8820, on "Topological Phenomena in Condensed Matter Physics".

This is an advanced course for graduate students interested in theoretical physics. We will focus on one special topic in modern condensed matter physics: topological phenomena in quantum many-body systems. We will mostly cover three classes of topological phenomena in condensed matters:

(1) Symmetry-breaking long-range orders, and their topological defects;
(2) Topological insulators, or more generally symmetry protected topological
phases with short-range entanglement;
(3) Topological orders, characterized by fractional statistics and long-range
entanglement.

For syllabus please see the attached pdf file.

If you have any questions about this course, please feel free to email me.

Sorry for the spam if you have already received it.

Best,
