Dr Paul A. McClarty (Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany) will give seminar titled “Topological Magnons”, under the seminars “QM^3 Quantum Matter meets Maths”, organised by researchers from CAMGSD, CeFEMA and IT.
This seminar will take place on 1st April 2020, at 12:00, via Zoom (link).
Abstract:
I give an overview of the insights we and other people have had into the band structure of magnons and discuss in some detail three main topics from our work: (i) the robustness of topological edge states in the presence of magnon interactions; (ii) visualization of spin-momentum locking in magnon systems; (iii) the non-Hermitian topology of spontaneous magnon decay.
The goal of QM^3 is to discuss recent topics in quantum matter, from a mathematical perspective, and to build bridges between the physics and mathematics communities.
