SUMMARY:Exploring possible universes of correlated topological insulators -
  Greg Fiete (University of Texas at Austin)
DESCRIPTION:Greg Fiete\, Departement of Physics\,  University of Texas at 
 Austin
\nabstract:
\nOver the past decade physics has experienced an infus
 ion of ideas from a branch of mathematics known as topology.  Topology de
 als with properties of objects that are invariant with respect to continuo
 us shape or size changes.  When quantum systems possess topological aspec
 ts\, they can exhibit an unusual robustness to systems imperfections and e
 nvironmental perturbations. In this talk\, I will survey recent advances i
 n our understanding of topological quantum many-particle systems and highl
 ight what makes them unusual\, as well as how they can be experimentally d
 etected and probed.  The talk will conclude with a status report on the f
 rontier of our knowledge\, and what possible applications might arise from
  topological phases of matter.
