Quantum information in condensed matter systems

Quantum correlations and applications in many-body systems

The aim of this research area is the investigation of entanglement, nonlocality, and other quantum correlations (such as quantum discord) in multi-particle quantum systems. Topics of interest include quantum phase transitions in condensed matter systems, characterization of quantum protocols through the collective correlation behavior, thermalization of pure quantum states, and quantum thermodynamics.
