Title: Quantum Matter in frustrated magnets

Speaker: Prof. Sambuddha Sanyal, IISER Tirupati

Abstract: The term "quantum matter" is typically used to describe many-body systems with emergent macroscopic properties that are intrinsically quantum mechanical. A theoretical description of "quantum matter" is beyond the scope of the two most successful many-body physics paradigms: symmetry breaking and the notion of the integrity of electrons as quasi-particle.

In this talk, entangled ground state with fractional, non-local quasiparticles. I will discuss recent progress in understanding such fractional quasiparticles in several frustrated magnets of topical interest.
