CMTC 2014 Fall Symposium

The Condensed Matter Theory Center (CMTC) recently hosted its 2014 Fall Symposium on campus. For 6 days in November faculty, postdocs and students highlighted the frontier areas of quantum condensed matter theory. The symposium was open to the public and attendees included current and former CMTC members.

The CMTC Fall Symposium, usually a week-long annual event, is held every year in October/November with talks by all CMTC members introducing everybody to the broad intellectual themes being actively pursued by the theorists at the center.

Below is the full list of this year's speakers and talks:

Maissam Barkeshli, Coherent Transmutation of Electrons into Fractionalized Anyons
Edwin Barnes, Robust quantum control using smooth pulses and topological winding
Philip Brydon, Topological superconductivity from phonons?
Meng Cheng, Majorana Zero Modes at the Edge of Integer Quantum Hall States
David Clarke, Artificial anyons in Hybrid Superconductor/Quantum Hall devices
William Cole, Magnetism and superfluidity of spin-orbit coupled bosons in one dimension
Sriram Ganeshan, Quantizing quantum theory with constraints on a set of conjugate variables: A natural formalism for parafermions
Pallab Goswami, Axial anomaly and negative longitudinal magnetoresistance: theory vs. experiment
Johannes Hofmann, Electron interactions in Dirac materials
Hoi Yin Hui, Majorana fermions in a ferromagnetic wire on the surface of a bulk spin-orbit coupled swave superconductor
