Explore a 46-minute conference talk on protected gaplessness in a deformed Ising model, presented by Carolyn Zhang from Harvard University. Delivered as part of the Theories, Experiments and Numerics on Gapless Quantum Many-body Systems conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation delves into cutting-edge research on strongly correlated gapless quantum many-body systems. Gain insights into topics such as deconfined quantum critical points, quantum spin liquids, non-Fermi liquids, and symmetries in gapless quantum states. Discover how this talk contributes to resolving discrepancies in numerical simulations, conformal bootstrap, and theoretical approaches to understanding complex quantum phenomena.
