Yesterday Charlie-Ray Mann gave a talk as a part of the "Many-Body Quantum Optics" program at KITP. Charlie is a postdoc working in the same group as me. Part of presented work (2D numerics which is not directly referenced) was done by me within the QUINTO project. You can listen to the recording of the talk here: https://online.kitp.ucsb.edu/online/mbqoptics24/mann/

Spin liquid
As an example of how a topological order can look like, one can look at simplified picture of so-called Z2 spin liquid. This type of topological order is postulated to occur in some “frustrated magnets”.

Hi!
We are conducting a research project on the intersection of quantum optics and condensed matter. We study what happens if an ordered array of atoms absorbs many photons, thus becoming a complex system of many interacting particles. We want to find and exploit analogies between such systems and so-called topological orders, and build a “bridge” between the two fields of physics.
