SUMMARY:Entanglement\, renormalization\, and holography - Swingle\, B (Har
 vard University)

DESCRIPTION:The theme of this talk is the interplay between entanglement a
 nd renormalization in quantum matter. The goal is to formulate a general c
 onceptual and computational framework for understanding entanglement in qu
 antum matter. I will begin by describing recent progress in computing enta
 nglement properties of interesting ground states by focusing on the low en
 ergy physics. My examples will include Fermi liquids\, topological states\
 , disordered insulators\, and quantum critical points.  Then I will discus
 s how the results of such studies lead us naturally to consider certain cl
 asses of tensor network states that incorporate the interplay between enta
 nglement and renormalization. Finally\, I will talk about the connections 
 between such tensor network states and holographic duality.\n
