Title: Studying Many-body physics through coding theory

Speaker(s): Ramis Movassagh - MIT

Abstract: Many interesting physical systems in condensed matter physics 
may be described in the language of error-correcting codes. In this 
talk, we illustrate the applications of coding theoretical techniques to 
problems in many-body physics by reviewing our recent works. In 
particular, we discuss (1) the classification of quantum phases via 
local quantum codes, (2) thermal stability of topological order and its 
relation to feasibility of self-correcting quantum memory, and (3) 
information storage capacity of discrete spin systems.
