Barthel research group,  Duke Physics condensed matter theory and numerics     Welcome         Publications         Research         Team         Talks & Teaching         CV     Contact. Dr. Thomas Barthel Department of Physics and DQC Duke University PO box 90305 Durham, NC 27708, USA +1 919 660-2965 office 287 Research interests. We are interested in many-particle systems. In particular: Quantum condensed matter systems Strongly correlated quantum matter Phase transitions, dynamic response, criticality, and universality Nonequilibrium phenomena, open driven-dissipative quantum systems, and transport Scaling and evolution of entanglement Integrable models Quantum computation and simulation for the investigation of quantum matter Ultracold atoms in optical lattices Stochastic dynamics in networks, rare events, and epidemic outbreaks Tensor network state methods (TNS>(TPA=PEPS≥MPS=FCS)+(MERA>TTN)) Fundamental properties and information-theoretic aspects of many-particle systems Machine learning and artificial intelligence have a nice day!
