SUMMARY:Quantum mechanics of fluids in solids\, Physics Department Col
 loquium\, Dima Pesin \, University of Virginia
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will discuss how the quantum mechanics  o
 f Bloch electrons – the geometry of their wave functions  - manifest
 s itself in the observable properties of materials. Drawing intuition 
 from the classic example of the anomalous Hall effect\, I will discuss
  transport and optical phenomena in gapless topological systems\,  rep
 resented by the Weyl semimetal\, as well as other metals with nontrivi
 al band geometry. Primary focus of the discussion will be on the physi
 cal manifestations of the chiral anomaly and chiral magnetic effect in
  nonlocal transport\, and optical activity of metals. I will also brie
 fly touch upon the nonlinear transport and hydrodynamic properties of 
 topological metals.
