Research WebsiteWe are excited about the emergent phenomena in many-body systems that arise due to the collective interplay of particles in the quantum world.
Description
Research focus: Quantum many-body theory, correlated electrons, superconductivity, quantum criticality
The goal of our research is to understand fundamental, physical processes in quantum materials and the identification of universal aspects among them with a focus on the collective behavior of interacting electrons.
This collective behavior gives rise to many fascinating phases of matter such as unconventional forms of superconductivity or magnetism. We seek to explain the underlying mechanisms behind the phase formation, and to characterise the phase transitions and properties of different phases.
To do so we use different field-theoretical methods applied to microscopic and effective models inspired by experimental observations.
