Korea-Tübingen PhD Program: Project 9/2024:
PhD Project Title: Quantum reaction-diffusion systems

Topic Description: Reaction-diffusion systems are simple systems which show emergent behavior that manifests at large distances and over long times. They can be modelled by a lattice system in which particles undergo (diffusive) hopping dynamics and react when meeting. Upon reacting particles are expelled from the system, which ultimately leads to an empty lattice. This final state is, however, reached in a highly correlated fashion, which manifest in a power-law decay of the particle density. The power-law exponent of this decay law may change depending on dimensionality and nature of the reaction process. The goal of this PhD project is to study quantum generalizations of such reaction diffusion dynamics using numerical and analytical methods. Recent work by our group has shown that quantum effects can lead to novel manifestations of collective behavior.

Faculty: Faculty of Science
Institute/Section/Subject: Institute for Theoretical Physics

Supervising Professor(s): Prof. Igor Lesanovsky

About the Supervisor(s): The group “Theoretical Atomic Physics and Synthetic Quantum Matter” was established in 2019 and conducts research on the quantum physics of systems formed of many constituents interacting with light. The research goal is to uncover emergent complex behavior such as phase transitions and to find ways for utilizing those in applications. See www.open-quantum-systems.com.

Requirements for the application:
Required Degrees: MSc in Physics
Language Requirements: English (IELTS 6,5 or TOEFL equivalent)
Notes: The applicant must have a high level of independence, the ability to work in a team and excellent knowledge of analytical methods of theoretical physics. Programming skills (e.g., Python or Matlab) are also advantageous.
