Entanglement and Disorder (A03)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 277101999

Project A03 addresses the physics of correlations, entanglement, and topology in systems subject to randomness. The project now includes four lines of activity: disorder in strongly correlated finite size systems as relevant to, e.g., NISQ era quantum computing architectures, disorder in tensor networks, the characterization of topological quantum matter in the combined presence of symmetries and translational invariance breaking, and disorder and chaos in holographic quantum matter. Project A03 continues to be a meta project in that its research themes resonate with many others in the CRC where translational symmetry breaking is a natural step towards added realism.
