DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Veronika Sunko & Xujia Chen\nhosted by Mikhail Lemeshk
 o\nAbstract: Veronika Sunko | Symmetry Probes of Quantum MatterThe centra
 l goal of condensed matter physics is to uncover\, understand\, and ultima
 tely control novel phases of matter. Progress relies on continuous interac
 tions between theory and experiment\, yet the two often remain separated: 
 theories predict phenomena that experiments struggle to test\, while exper
 iments reveal behaviors that theories can at best postdict. My research is
  driven by the ambition to narrow this gap\, an effort that is inherently 
 collaborative\, bringing together theorists\, synthesis groups\, and compl
 ementary experimental techniques.In this talk\, I will outline how symmetr
 y can serve as a bridge: experimental identification of symmetry can test 
 and constrain theories. I will describe our strategy of developing and uti
 lizing experimental probes of symmetry\, and the opportunity these efficie
 nt and sensitive experiments offer for altermagnets\, a new class of magne
 tic materials where theoretical predictions are outpacing data. More broad
 ly\, this symmetry-based toolkit is applicable to a wide range of quantum 
 materials\, and it will shape the research of my group in the years to com
 e.____________Xujia Chen | Manifolds and DiffeomorphismsManifolds are one
  of the fundamental objects studied in geometry and topology\, and diffeom
 orphisms are the "self-symmetries" of a smooth manifold. I will give an 
 introduction to these concepts\, and show you what some research question
 s in this area look like. This talk is mainly targeted at non-mathematic
 ians
