Jonathon Riddell here. Today we take a closer look at how entanglement entropy plays a role in the emergence of statistical mechanics. We find that the entanglement entropy between a part of a system obeying eigenstate thermalization, and the rest of the system, scales like the size of the subsystem. This is called a "volume law" and is a key indicator that an energy eigenstate may obey the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis.

Hi everyone!
Today we have a fun video, where I try to explain my research interests at 5 different levels.
1. To an elementary school student who at least knows about atoms and cells.
2. To a secondary student who has taken a first look at physics
3. To a physics undergrad
4. To a graduate student in physics
5. To someone in my field
So I basically narrow the explanation down further and further as the video goes on.
I'd love to hear your explanations!

Hi everyone!
In this video we quickly discuss the Poincaré recurrence theorem and it's consequences.

Hey everyone!
Steve is back with another video on phase transitions. This time he introduces the Landau free energy by example, using the Ising model.
In this video we will rely heavily on understanding the partition function and why it's important for solving statistical mechanical problems. If you need a refresher see the following videos:
The principle of maximum entropy

Hi everyone!
In this video I am joined by James Lambert, a PhD student working at McMaster University. In this video James explores the difference between classical and quantum correlations.
In this video James introduces the quantum Fisher information, which provides us with a powerful tool to investigate entanglement in many-body systems.
