Our research group focuses on two main pillars: (i) a rigorous understanding of far-from-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics, and (ii) devising efficient implementations of lattice gauge theories on existing and upcoming quantum hardware.
We are interested in lattice gauge theories for two main reasons. Firstly, they are a tool with direct connection to high-energy physics, comprising a fundamental framework describing the interaction of elementary particles as mediated through gauge bosons. By designing quantum simulators of lattice gauge theories, we have the opportunity to provide a complementary tunable venue for exploring high-energy physics phenomena. Secondly, they are a powerful class of quantum many-body systems with both global and local (gauge) symmetries. This makes them a rich venue to investigate far-from-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics and criticality.
