2603. "Black holes, wormholes and solid state realizations of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models"

Marcel Franz (University of British Columbia)

Symposia Day - Quantum Materials

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

An intriguing connection, pointed out by Kitaev in 2015, exists between a simple model of Majorana fermions with random all-to-all interactions – the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model – and the horizons of extremal black holes in two-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. This connection furnishes a rare example of holographic duality between a solvable quantum-mechanical model and Einstein gravity. It...

2642. Magnetotransport in topological metals

Prof. Anton Burkov (University of Waterloo)

Symposia Day - Quantum Materials

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Topological metals continue to attract attention as novel gapless states of matter. While there by now exists an exhaustive classification of possible topologically nontrivial metallic states, their observable properties, that follow from the electronic structure topology, are less well understood.
In this talk I will present my recent work on magnetotransport phenomena in topological metals,...

2866. Connecting Superconductivity and Quantum Criticality with the High-Field Hall Effect in a Strange Metal

Prof. James Analytis (University of California, Berkeley)

Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Unconventional superconductivity, and high−Tc superconductivity in particular, remains one of the most distinctively intractable prob- lems in physics. The existence of a common phenomenology which links these materials into a class known as “strange metals, provides hope that there is unifying theory that describes them. In this letter, we show that the Hall effect of the unconventional...
