Collective behavior of quantum systems far from equilibrium
Collective behavior of quantum systems far from equilibrium
We are particularly interested in the dynamics of many-body open quantum systems driven far from equilibrium, which can either relax naturally or be engineered to form novel non-equilibrium phases. A striking example is the “flocking” of quantum agents, where strong driving and engineered interactions lead to collective clustering behavior. Other systems we study include quantum analogues of classical transport models, such as exclusion processes, which reveal how correlations and collective effects emerge in driven quantum matter.
Quantum Correlations in interacting systems
Quantum Correlations in interacting systems
We study how interactions in many-body quantum systems give rise to complex quantum correlations such as entanglement and quantum discord. These quantum correlations can drive collective behavior, stabilize non-equilibrium phases, or reveal hidden structures in the dynamics of open and driven systems. By combining analytical and numerical approaches, we aim to uncover how correlations build up, spread, and influence relaxation and transport in interacting quantum matter. Our work provides insight into both fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics and the design of controllable quantum devices.
Quantum walks as building blocks for complex dynamics
Quantum walks as building blocks for complex dynamics
Quantum walks provide a versatile framework for exploring how simple quantum rules can generate rich and complex dynamics. By studying both discrete- and continuous-time quantum walks, we investigate how interference, correlations, and interactions lead to emergent behaviors in many-body systems. These walks serve as minimal models for transport, information spreading, and non-equilibrium phenomena, offering insight into how complex collective dynamics can arise from simple quantum building blocks.
