Supervisor Name: Dr. Arijeet Pal Supervisor Email: a.pal@ucl.ac.uk Project: Correlated non-equilibrium quantum matter Project Description: The dynamics of interacting quantum systems host a variety of fascinating phenomena. Recent developments include new non-equilibrium states of matter characterised by many-body localization, time-

crystallinity, and quantum scarring. These states of matter exhibit macroscopic quantum behaviour in highly excited states which have opened the door for investigating quantum many body physics in an entirely new regime away from zero temperature.

This project aims to study the properties of non-equilibrium phases and transitions between them. The candidate will be expected to be well-versed with the concepts and tools of quantum many-body physics and quantum information science. The project will involve applying both analytical and numerical methods. Therefore, a strong background in condensed matter theory and quantum many-body physics will be preferred.

Candidates will primarily work with Zala Lenarcic, as well as with other members of the department (P. Prelovsek, L. Vidmar, J. Bonca) and at the University of Ljubljana (T. Prosen, M. Znidaric). The starting date is negotiable, preferable the first months of 2021. There is no deadline for the application; however, the positions will be filled as soon as suitable candidates are found. The appoint-ment is initially for 3.5 years for the PhD position and for 2 years for the postdoc position. The research program will include: • Developing theoretical proposals to utilize driving in order to find new functionalities of correlated materials and to understand fundamental properties quantum systems. • The focus will be on systems with additional symmetries, such as integrable, many-body local-ized, quantum scarred Hamiltonians and other models, which have been extensively studied in idealized limits that are not easily experimentally realized. • The aim will be to make a connection between fundamental studies on breaking of ther-malization in perfectly closed systems with symmetries and more realistic setups, taking into account weak openness and other imperfections. We will design driving protocols to fight those imperfections. • We will employ analytical (generalized hydrodynamics) as well as numerical (tensor network, machine learning) approaches for open systems, depending on the preference of the candidate. For the postdoc position, a specialization on these techniques will be advantageous. • Motivated candidates will profit from a vivid exchange with collaborators at the University of Cologne (A.

Background: The LPT (50 people) is involved in many fields of physics, and is a heavy user of intensive scientific computing on computing centers at the LPT, or at a regional (CALMIP) and national (GENCI / IDRIS) level. The codes, often highly parallel, are mainly produced by LPT researchers and their collaborators and relate to quantum mechanical calculations (Monte-Carlo, linear algebra, density functional ...) in electronic physics / magnetism of condensed matter and cluster physics, but also in classical physics (Monte-Carlo, molecular dynamics ...), for example in biophysics and soft matter. The codes must be designed from the outset for very high performance machines or optimized a posteriori. IRAP (300 people) has a strong theory / modeling component for which numerical simulation is the main tool. This activity is crucial for the exploitation of astrophysical data and in particular that of space

Project: The aim of the project is to advance the theory of many-body quantum systems realized in low-dimensional flat-band and partial flat-band lattices. A special focus will be on finding and characterizing potential superconducting instabilities in these systems and their competition with alternative orders. A major tool in this project will be the use of density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) approaches as well as advanced analytical mean-field techniques. Profile: Scientific curiosity, a strong drive for original research, scientific rigour, and self-initiative are vital requirements for this position, as is a collaborative nature. Work in this position will involve substantial use of existing DMRG codes. This project thus seeks an applicant with a solid background and experience either in matrix product state-based methods and/or other types of numerical many-body techniques, complemented by an extensive understanding of the physics of strongly correlated systems in general. On the technical side, substantial programming abilities and experience in the use of Linux/Unix-based HPC computational clusters are essential. Knowledge of and experience with C++ would be a major asset. Team and environment: This position will be embedded in the groups of the two joint PIs. The two groups have extensive research activities on many-body systems in both solid state matter and ultracold atomic gases, especially with a focus on unconventional superconductivity in bulk as well as in low-dimensional systems. Techniques used range from analytical Green’s functions techniques and many-body dynamics in and out of equilibrium to DMRG and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) calculations. Together, the groups currently comprise seven postdoctoral researchers and six Ph.D. students.
