SUMMARY:Recent advances on quantum systems with random Hamiltonians - Prof
 essor Yuri Suhov (DPMMS)

CONTACT:Amanda Stagg
DESCRIPTION:The theory of random Hamiltonians\nwas initiated by future Nob
 el laureates Mott and Anderson in the late 1950's\, largely at the Cavendi
 sh\,\nand is still a hot topic in both theoretical and\nmathematical physi
 cs.\n\nUntil 2008\, the literature in this field focused on a\nsingle-part
 icle case\; even highly imaginative physicists rarely ventured to consider
  what happens to two or more particles. Recent results on multi-particle s
 ystems (in which I took some modest part) provided a rare example where ri
 gorous mathematical thinking overtook\, at least for a while\, libertarian
 \nphysical reasoning. The talk focuses on these developments\; no specific
  knowledge of Probability\nTheory or Quantum Mechanics is expected from th
 e\naudience.\n
