DESCRIPTION:Samuel Lederer\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, MIT\, Cambridge\, MA\, P
 rofessor Eun-Ah Kim\, host.\n\nSeminar Title: High temperature superconduc
 tivity and strange metal behavior near a metallic quantum critical point\n
 \nAbstract: It has long been conjectured that quantum critical points (QCP
 s) are at the root of some of the most fascinating phenomena in the solid 
 state\, including the high temperature superconductivity and “strange me
 tal” behavior of cuprate superconductors. Though much progress has been 
 made in the theory of QCPs\, those which occur in metals (and are likely r
 elevant to the high temperature superconductors) are still poorly understo
 od despite more than four decades of effort. Using Quantum Monte Carlo tec
 hniques\, my collaborators and I have performed the first numerically exac
 t simulations of a model which realizes a metallic QCP. I will discuss our
  results\, which include numerous phenomena already observed in experiment
 \, and comment on future avenues towards a solution of this difficult and 
 rich problem in quantum statistical mechanics.\n\nPoster available.
