[quantum-info] Today's PIQuDos

[Markus Mueller]

Hi all,

this is a reminder of Luigi Amico's talk today at 4pm in the Time Room.

Best wishes,
Markus




Title: *Entanglement transition in quantum magnets*
Speaker: Luigi Amico (University of Catania)

Abstract:
Entanglement is a defining feature of quantum mechanics that in recent 
years has led to the development of the new discipline of quantum 
information theory. Its application to spin systems predicts a new type 
of zero temperature transition in an applied magnetic field at which the 
nature of the entanglement qualitatively changes without any anomaly  in 
the ground state energy of the system. I will discuss the correlations 
near such an entanglement transition. I will report on the first attempt 
to observe the phenomenon with a neutron scattering experiment in a one 
dimensional quantum magnet.
