Theory

Research Topics:

- Quantum Engineering and Information: Transport phenomena in open quantum systems, classical simulation of quantum systems, full counting statistics, quantum effects in biological systems, and entanglement features.

- Statistical Physics: theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, nonequilibrium steady states, interfaces, neurophysics and other interdisciplinary applications.

- Computational Physics: Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics methods, numerical analysis, model and simulation of systems and processes.

We develop and use Tensor Networks to attack the quantum many body problem

The CQNE at The University of Nottingham is as focal point for fundamental and theoretical research in the dynamics and control of complex quantum systems.

The aim of the Centre is to provide a framework for common activities such as seminars, workshops, international conferences, and specialised postgraduate training.

The Centre is open to academic members of the University conducting research in related areas.

The condensed matter theory group at BGU conducts research in mesoscopic physics, disordered and strongly correlated systems. Of special interest are topics such as superconductivity, phase transitions, quasicrystals, liquid crystals, quantum dots, Kondo effect, persistent currents, quantum Hall effect, dephasing, dissipation and the relation to quantum chaos.

Launched in 2014, the York Centre for Quantum Technologies is a cross-departmental, interdisciplinary initiative aimed at further developing the University’s substantial expertise into quantum research. Based on an initial partnership between the departments of Physics, Maths and Computer Science, and with the intent to expand to include other departments, the Centre aims to foster new collaborations across all areas of quantum theory, and in particular their applications to emerging quantum technologies.

One could argue that the fields of quantum information science and complex network theory (a.k.a. complexity science) both address complexity, yet from opposite perspectives. Indeed, the former makes use of a complex system as a computational resource whereas the later generally studies (and often using computer simulations) the scaling, collective behavior and emergent properties of complex system(s).

Our current line of research includes theory and applications of quantum walks and quantum networks. For applications, we mainly focus on quantum optical implementations.
