Duncan Haldane, Nobel laureate in Physics in 2016, was a visitor at IPhT
David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2016 for their works on topological effects in condensed matter physics.
Duncan Haldane is well-known in France. He spent four years at the Institute Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, from 1977 to 1981. During a visit to the IPhT in the early 1990s, he exposed some remarkable degeneracies of the spin chain which bears his name. This was the starting point of a collaboration with Denis Bernard, Michel Gaudin and Vincent Pasquier.
