YITP-IAS (Kyushu Univ.) workshop: Interfaces & Symmetry

On TQFTs and Entanglement

1h

Maskawa Hall (Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University)

Speaker

Michele Del Zotto (Uppsala U.)

Description

Gapped phases of matter at long distance are described by TQFTs. In this talk I will discuss a physical interpretation of the TQFT partition functions in terms of the multipartite entanglement of the ground state. Based on joint work with Abhijit Gadde and Pavel Putrov.
