Research at Prof. Antoine Georges' Chair focuses on "quantum matter with strong correlations". The electrons in a molecule or solid, or the quantum fluids in ultra-cold atoms, are all examples of quantum systems made up of a very large number of interacting particles. We are interested in the fascinating collective phenomena that develop in these systems, such as superconductivity, metal-insulator transitions, magnetism and topological effects.

Our research team is developing methods for understanding the physics of these systems and predicting their properties, in constant liaison with experimental data. This research program closely combines conceptual and computational/algorithmic aspects (dynamic mean field theory and its extensions, diagrammatic Monte Carlo methods, neural networks or quantum circuits for wave function representation). Our team is involved in the development of the TRIQS digital library , and has significant computational resources at its disposal.
