Title: Quantum Criticality and Black Holes


Speaker: Dr. Subir Sachdev


Institute: Harvard University


Location: ABB 102


Description:


I will describe antiferromagnets and superconductors near quantum phase transitions. There is a remarkable analogy between their dynamics and the holographic description of Hawking radiation from black holes. I will show how insights from this analogy have shed light on experiments on the cuprate high temperature superconductors.
