Theoretical Physics Colloquium by Prof. Tomas Brauner from the University of Stavanger, Norway.
This presentation was held live on November 2, 2022 as part of the theoretical physics colloquium series hosted by Prof. Igor Shovkovy at the Arizona State University. The series features high-quality interactive presentations on current advances in theoretical physics by active researchers in the field of theoretical physics.
Abstract for this presentation:
To understand how inhomogeneous macroscopic structures can arise from translationally invariant microscopic interactions is a fascinating problem in the physics of quantum many-body systems. I will start the talk with an overview of some known mechanisms, responsible for phases of matter with a spatially nontrivial order. Then I will focus on dense quark matter in strong magnetic fields. We will explore a quantum phase of nuclear matter that owes its existence to topological aspects of the chiral anomaly, yet its basic properties can be understood using the mathematics of a simple pendulum.
