Physics Colloquium: "Making ordered phases of matter at arbitrarily high temperature" Presented by Dr. Andrew Lucas - University of Colorado, Boulder

Location:

Lewis Lab, 316

August 28, 2025, 4:25 - 5:25pm

Usually in statistical physics, high temperature phases are disordered and featureless while low temperature phases are ordered.  For example, solid ice becomes liquid water upon heating; the solid is an ordered phase that spontaneously breaks translational and rotational…
