Location:
The Fields Institute
Abstract:
Using the concepts introduced in the previous section, I will explain what makes entanglement in many-body systems (e.g. ground states of typical local Hamiltonians) very special. Namely, many-body systems are typically only weakly entangled. The content of this lecture may serve as a basic introduction to the ideas discussed by Matthew Hastings in his second and third Distinguished Lectures.
