Title
Quantum Fractals
Abstract
We know how electrons behave in 1,2,3 dimensions, but what about d=1.58? In this talk, I will first describe fractals, structures that may have a non-integer dimension. Then I will present experiments on electronic and photonic quantum simulators and explain how electrons and photons behave at fractal dimension. Finally, I will discuss the fractal Hubbard model and the topological properties of electrons in self-formed Bi fractals on InSb.
