报告题目： Topological Changes of State in Classical and Quantum Systems 报告人： Prof. John B. Delos, College of William and Mary 报告时间： 2015-10-14 14:00 报告地点：理科楼三楼报告厅（C302）摘要： One of the topological changes of state exhibited by some systems is called “monodromy”. This can be found in quasi-linear molecules, atoms in a trap, a “swing-spring”, or a hydrogen atom in crossed fields. A quantum manifestation of monodromy is a defect in the lattice of eigenvalues. A dynamical manifestation of monodromy, which will be visible in both classical and quantum systems, will be described in this talk. Especially we discuss how this phenomenon could be observed using a classical pendulum system or ultracold atoms.
