Title: Walking on Archimedean and hyperbolic lattices

Abstract: The lattices underlying solid-state systems profoundly influence their electronic and elastic properties. In particular, materials featuring Archimedean lattice geometries, like Kagome metals, or tabletop simulations of negatively curved space through hyperbolic lattices in circuit quantum electrodynamics and topological circuits recently opened an exciting frontier of research at the intersection of condensed matter physics and mathematical graph theory. In my talk, I will discuss three applications of random walks on graphs in lattice systems: counting walks on Archimedean lattices, Anderson localization on hyperbolic lattices, and simulating holography and black holes in electrical circuits.
