We have come to understand\, however\, th at nature leverages geometry at other length scales. In particular\, the l ast decade has seen the dawn of a new age of “quantum matter” in which topology and geometry play a key role at microscopic scales. A good under standing of how geometry manifests here leads to the potential for new mat erials and physical systems that leverage more exotic geometries. This is not only an opportunity for pure mathematicians to interact with physics i n new ways\, but also to reconsider how we engineer and print materials at nanoscales. As these research directions take shape\, there are increasin gly many opportunities for research contributions by students. I will desc ribe the ideas at play and how researchers and students in the quanTA Lab in the west of Canada are putting these ideas in motion.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/GLU/4/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
