Theoretical Quantum Physics Group
This research group, led by Antonio Miguel Garcia Garcia, a professor in the Institute of Condensed Matter of the School of Physics of SJTU, carries out "avant garde" research on theoretical many-body quantum physics. Currently, this means to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of strongly interacting quantum chaotic systems, especially those in contact with an environment, or being monitored, and, through the use of holographic dualities, explore the physics of the quantum gravity dual.
Specific topics of research range from the physics of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, and its gravity dual, to the impact of measurements on many-body quantum chaotic systems and superconducting qubit circuits.
Ultimately, the goal is nothing but to gain understanding of enigmatic aspects of quantum mechanics such as entanglement or the process of measurements with the hope that this better understanding will shed light on quantum gravity and will also be helpful for the optimization of the hardware for quantum computation.
In the last five years, the scientific production of the group has resulted in about forty publications in journals with impact factors equal or higher than Physical Review, including one Phys. Rev. X, six Phys. Rev. Lett., one NanoLetters, and one Nature Communications.
