DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/TQFT/116/">H
 omotopy theory of parametrized quantum systems</a>\nby Agnès Beaudry (Uni
 versity of Colorado Boulder) as part of Topological Quantum Field Theory C
 lub (IST\, Lisbon)\n\n\nAbstract\nIn recent years\, there has been a growi
 ng number of applications of stable homotopy theory to condensed matter ph
 ysics\, many of which stem from a conjecture of Kitaev that gapped inverti
 ble phases of matter should be classified by the homotopy groups of a spec
 trum. This gives rise to a mathematical modeling question: how do we model
  quantum systems in such a way that this result can be better understood\,
  perhaps even proved? In this talk\, I will discuss some aspects of this m
 odeling problem. This is based on joint work with Mike Hermele\, Juan More
 no\, Markus Pflaum\, Marvin Qi and Daniel Spiegel\, David Stephen\, Xueda 
 Wen.\n
