SUMMARY:Quantum Phase Transitions and Strongly Correlated Electrons
DESCRIPTION:Qimiao Si\, Department of Physics & AstronomyRice University 
                        Résumé/abstract:Electronic
  materials exhibit diverse physical properties\, some of which “merely
 ” inspire our curiosity\, while others change the way we live our lives.
  When electronic correlations are strong\, the behavior is even richer but
  the theory becomes notoriously difficult.The fundamental question is how 
 the electrons are organized and\, in particular\, whether there are princi
 ples that are universal among the various classes of strongly correlated s
 ystems. One such principle\, which has come to prominence in recent years\
 , is quantum criticality. It describes the collective fluctuations of matt
 er undergoing a continuous phase transition at absolute zero.In this talk\
 , I will introduce the basics about quantum criticality\, and describe som
 e of the recent progresses that have been made. The focus will be on a par
 ticularly active setting -- strongly correlated electron systems at the bo
 rder of magnetism. I will also outline some open issues and future directi
 ons\, including on the interplay between magnetic quantum criticality and 
 unconventional superconductivity.Cette conférence s'adresse à tous\, y c
 ompris les professeurs\, les chercheurs et les étudiants des trois cycles
 .Le café est servi à partir de 11h20.Cette conférence est présentée p
 ar le Département de physique de l'Université de Montréal.
