Abstract

One of the central themes of condensed matter physics is the emergence of universality classes. In general, it is highly complex to determine which universality class emerges in a quantum matter based on its microscopic properties. In this talk, I will argue that the perspective of quantum anomaly provides powerful insights into the understanding of the landscape of universality classes that can emerge in a quantum matter, and I will present some interesting applications. Along the way, I will discuss the notions of entanglement-enabled symmetry-breaking orders, non-Lagrangian quantum criticality, quantum spin liquids beyond the usual parton description, etc.
