Many-body Quantum Dynamics

Cavendish Laboratory

Welcome to our website!

We are studying many-body phenomena at the interface between iphone怎样能看youtube and solid state physics. Following a statement by P.W. Anderson, "More is Different", genuine many-body phenomena are emergent phenomena that only appear when many particles come together, typical examples being superfluidity or magnetism.

Our main tool are quantum gases and in particular ultracold atoms in optical lattices.

  • One avenue of research is the creation and analysis of novel synthetic quantum matter, that is novel many-body systems with fascinating properties, for instance novel types of order. Examples include topological systems or many-body localisation.
  • Another direction is quantum simulation. Here we aim to study existing problems such as the physics of strongly-correlated materials, which are in general impossible to model using classical supercomputers. The main workhorse here is the implementation of bosonic and fermionic Hubbard models in our experiments.
  • In particular, we are often interested in the non-equilibrium dynamics of the above systems.
