TQM group studies condensed matter and many-body systems with collective quantum behavior such as topological materials and quantum devices. Our work ranges from theoretically predicting novel states of matter to studies of complex systems, parallels of particle physics and condensed matter and aspects of quantum information.
Research focus and goals
We aim to further the fundamental understanding of quantum many-body systems and their potential future applications. The main focus is on quantum condensed matter theory and exploring its connections from quantum information theory to high-energy physics. Our recent research topics include
- Physic of topological insulators and superconductors
- Far-from-equilibrium quantum dynamics and dynamical quantum phase transitions
- Quantum entanglement in many-body systems
- Topological states of matter on random lattices and fractals
- Emergent curved spacetime physics in Weyl semimetals
Impact
We are working on topics enjoying wide international interest. Our research results are published in international peer-reviewed journals and can also be found on arXiv open-access database. Naturally, the group is also participating in supervising doctoral and undergraduate students and teaching physics courses.
