1 News from NBIA Condensed Matter Physics: from new materials to quantum technology Mark Rudner time

2 ~100 years after Bohr, the basic laws and players are established Image from Source: AAAS

3 Collective behavior unlike that of individual constituents Water molecules Ocean waves Electrons in a crystal Superconductivity

4 For theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter David Thouless Duncan Haldane Michael Kosterlitz (U. Washington) (Princeton) (Brown) Nobel prize, 2016

5 Topologically distinct objects cannot be smoothly interconverted Simple Loop Twisted Strip

6 Bohr model: wave must catch its tail going around a ring, number of wavelengths is quantized and topological

7 Vortices in superconductors: quantum whirlpools * Kosterlitz + Thouless: vortices crucial for phase transition in 2D

8 Hall effect: out-of-plane magnetic field generates voltage transverse to applied current B { I V H R H V H /I

9 Classically, Hall resistance is proportional to B R H R H = B/nec B

10 Hall resistance features extremely flat steps at low T, high B R H =2 R H = h/ e 2 =3 Measurement Standard =4 h/e 2 = (18) Figure adapted from nobelprize.org B

11 Hall resistance features extremely flat steps at low T, high B R H =2 R H = h/ e 2 =3 Measurement Standard =4 h/e 2 = (18) Figure adapted from nobelprize.org B Key theoretical insight, linking robustness to topology: D. J. Thouless, M. Kohmoto, M. P. Nightingale, and M. den Nijs, Phys. Rev. Lett. 49, 405 (1982).
