Dots for Dummies – Ramamurti Shankar
Date: Thu. September 17th, 2009, 4:15 pm-5:15 pmLocation: Rockefeller 301
I will provide an introduction to quantum dots, a problem where disorder, interactions and finite size combine to make a perfect storm. Yet it is just this combination that makes an exact solution possible. I will describe that solution and give an introduction to the tools used: renormalization group and random Matrix Theory.
