SUMMARY:TBA\, R. G. Herb Condensed Matter Seminar\, Ribhu K. Kaul\, Un
 iversity of Kentucky\, Lexington
DESCRIPTION:Close to the absolute zero of temperature\, when pushed to
  the edge between
\ntwo phases of matter\, simple lattice Hamiltonians
  of spins can display the
\nincredibly rich phenomena of "quantum crit
 icality". Quantum critical
\nground states are described by the most c
 omplex wavefunctions known to
\nphysicists\, yet they can be categoriz
 ed by "universality classes" that are
\nindependent of the details of 
 the Hamiltonians that realize them. In this
\nseminar I will show how 
 such quantum critical spin systems can arise in
\nreal-world transitio
 n metal oxide materials\, and explain our successes in
\ndeveloping qu
 antum many-body simulations of a new universality class of
\n"deconfin
 ed" quantum critical points.
