*High Energy Theory Seminar, **Monday, September 23, 2013

"Topological Order and Long-range Entanglement -- Can Elementary 
Particles Emerge from Qubits?"*

Location: Bloomberg Lecture Hall

Time: 2:30 PM

Speaker(s): Xiao-Gang Wen, Perimeter Institute

*Description:* Long-range entangled qubits (or quantum spins) from new 
states of matter whose low energy effective theory realize topological 
quantum field theories. Those topologically ordered states of purely 
bosonic qubits can produce emergent gauge theory and Fermi statistics in 
a unified way. They also lead to new way to understand gauge and 
gravitational anomalies. The new understanding lead to a 
non-perturbative lattice definition of U(1) x SU(2) x SU(3) standard 
model, solving a long standing problem.
