清华高研院学术报告：NONLINEAR QUANTUM LIQUIDS IN ONE DIMENSION

Title： NONLINEAR QUANTUM LIQUIDS IN ONE DIMENSION Speaker： Prof. Leonid Glazman (Department of Physics, Yale University) Time： 10:00am, Monday, May 27, 2013 Venue： Conference Hall 322, Science Building, Tsinghua University Abstract: The conventional description of one-dimensional quantum fluids is based on the Luttinger liquid theory. In that theory, the true energy-momentum relation of particles making up the fluid is replaced by a linear one. This simplification is crucial for the theory, and abandoning it has proven to be difficult. The talk presents a breakthrough which allowed one to circumvent the difficulty. The new theory describes dynamic responses of a fluid consisting of particles with a generic spectrum. It is applicable to a diverse group of systems, including, for example, electrons in quantum wires and cold atomic gases in one-dimensional traps.
