Sean Hartnoll | From Black Holes to Superconductors - 1 of 2
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 4 Μαρ 2015
Part 1 of a 2-part mini-lecture series given by Prof. Sean Hartnoll from the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics.
Black
holes have the remarkable property of irreversibility: if you fall into
a black hole you can't get out (classically). This immediately
suggested a connection with the other famous irreversibility in physics:
the law of increase of entropy. Since the 70s, this connection between
black holes and thermodynamic systems has been fleshed out in increasing
detail and has lead to surprising conclusions. I will give an
introduction to a recent body of work showing how black holes can in
fact be used to shed light on exotic materials of interest in condensed
matter physics, including the still-not-understood high temperature
superconductors.
