quantum many-body theory

Shikano group at Institute for Molecular Science, National Institutes of Natural Sciences, located in Okazaki, Aichi, Japan opens the visiting positions from December 1st to March 31st. The visiting period is negotiable but the end of the period, March 31st, 2016 is too restricted. Shikano group is now working on several topics,

Tensor networks are recognized as one of the most promising numerical tools to study quantum many body systems; representatives are the matrix product state (MPS), the multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz (MERA), and the projected entangled-pair states (PEPS), and Density Matrix Renormalization Group(DMRG). By now, the concept covers various fields including material science, quantum chemistry, and lattice gauge theories, and it is desired to share ideas among these fields.

In the theory group of Prof. Uwe R. Fischer at Seoul National University, there is an opening for a Postdoc position for one year, with a possible extension by another year. Possible research topics are novel quantum phases in optical lattices, dipolar gases with strong correlations, the many-body physics of fragmented condensates, dynamical quantum phase transitions, the Kibble-Zurek mechanism of topological defect creation, and quantum state transfer in hybrid quantum systems.

Please note the unusual starting time of 10pm UK time due to the speaker being in Australia.
