The last decade has seen an explosion of interdisciplinary work using entanglement-related quantities in condensed matter. Among the many developments within this general theme, the study of the entanglement spectrum has emerged in very recent years as an extremely promising and informative theme.
The entanglement spectrum has surprised a rapidly growing community through ongoing discoveries of a remarkable amount of information contained in its structure. The quantity provides a novel opportunity of wavefunction tomography, the mapping out of the anatomy of complex many-particle wavefunctions. It also contains information about topological order in several unexpected ways.
This focus workshop will bring together researchers who have been studying entanglement spectra in diverse physical systems and models.
