Theoretical Physics Seminar: Han Yan

This is the 11th biweekly session of the OIST Theoretical Physics Seminar.
In this seminar series, we pretend to have a theoretical physics department, and tell each other informal stories over drinks and snacks.

Speaker: Han Yan (Quantum Matter).
Title: "Three types of phases".

Abstract:
I will introduce the symmetry breaking phase (topologically trivial phase), topological phase, and fracton topological order. I will give some concrete examples and also discuss some abstract concepts.
