Abstract: In recent years, the notion of magic in quantum physics – originally confined to more esoteric quantum information processing subfields – has attracted the attention of the community of quantum many-body physics, quantum chaos and complexity, high-energy physics, AdS-CFT and the foundations of quantum mechanics. In this colloquium, we will give a survey of what quantum magic is, how it can be measured, and why we should care (and why and when we should not).

Speakers: Prof. Alioscia Hamma & Dr. Salvatore F.E. Oliviero

[Online seminar] Format: Each talk will be 20 + 10 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of general discussion.
