Project description
A quantum statistical mechanics approach to the quantum bounds of chaos
Quantum mechanics describes the behaviours of matter and light on the atomic and subatomic scale. The presence of chaos in these quantum interacting systems takes the complexity to a new level. Chaos is a property of certain systems that are very sensitive to initial conditions, leading to seemingly random effects that are almost impossible to predict or control. Experimental evidence for the existence of classical chaos in the quantum world came only a little more than a decade ago. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the VERMOUTH project will explore the quantum bounds to chaos from the perspective of standard quantum statistical mechanics.
Objective
The recent technological and experimental advances in the field of quantum simulation and computation have led to the renaissance of the study of the dynamics of complex quantum systems. Different interdisciplinary approaches, merging concepts from condensed matter, high energy physics and quantum information, have emphasised the existence of constraints given by quantum mechanics on the time evolution of correlations and the transport properties.
The purpose of this proposal is to tackle several outstanding issues at the intersection of these fields from the perspective of standard quantum statistical mechanics. The project integrates the Applicant's expertise in quantum many-body dynamics with the Host broad experience in statistical mechanics, taking full advantage of the unique multidisciplinary environment provided by the hosting institution.
The research will be carried out in the perfectly suited environment of the Statistical Physics group at the Laboratoire de Physique de l'Ecole Normale Superieure with Prof. J. Kurchan.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
