Synthetic and holographic quantum matter (B04)

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

Holography provides us with novel avenues to understanding the physics of quantum information and entanglement, based on principles of geometry. Project B04 combines the holographic principle with synthetic approaches to quantum matter. We will define and explore quantum systems and their holographic bulk duals by a combination of complementary design concepts, including the coupling of strongly interacting mesoscopic quantum systems, tensor networks, and field theoretical methods. The long term goal is to understand the physics of entanglement from a novel perspective and, conversely, to unlock holographic dualities building on principles of quantum information.
