Network Techniques for Interaction Quenches

Objective

Understanding the universal features of the non-equilibrium dynamics
of strongly interacting one-dimensional quantum many-body systems
is one of the most challenging and intriguing aspect of the recent researches
in the broad domain of the quantum many-particle physics.
In this project one merges analytical with numerical methods in order to explore
the exotic behavior of interacting quantum models when brought out-of-equilibrium.
Indeed, although the equilibrium properties of quantum systems could be understood
in terms of standard approaches, away from the equilibrium a complete understanding is still missing.
In particular, the project aims to fill the lack of knowledge still present in this exciting domain,
pursuing two main ideas: (i) The development of new numerical methods based on tensor-network
techniques, so as to explore the post-quench dynamics in closed quantum systems;
with a special attention to the very recent continuous version of such algorithms.
(ii) A better theoretical understanding (strongly supported by the numerical approach in (i))
of the effects of symmetry breaking, interactions and integrability, in the non-equilibrium dynamics;
especially with respect to the non-equilibrium transport of energy and particle throughout the systems as well as
a universal description of the stationary states (both equilibrium and non-equilibrium) that
emerge at late times.
Beside its conceptual importance, a complete universal characterization of the non-equilibrium dynamics
of 1D quantum systems will have various application in quantum engineering, being a
crucial step forward to construct a quantum computer.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

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.
