We are delighted to welcome F. Duncan Haldane, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, for a very special seminar.

The study of “topological states” in quantum condensed matter has been very active in recent years. Though it was initially discovered over 45 years ago, the quantum Hall effect continues to reveal new surprises and is at the heart of quantum topology, expecially in its “fractional” presentation.

*After the colloquium, a science coffee will be served in the cafeteria.
