Since January 2019, the Institute of Physics' young team incubator has welcomed a new team, " Quantum matter theory out of equilibrium ", led by Marco Schiro.
Marco Schiro is a young theoretical physicist with interests in condensed matter, statistical physics and quantum simulation based on atomic systems and quantum optics. He obtained his PhD in 2010 in Trieste, where he studied the non-equilibrium dynamics of correlated electron systems under the supervision of Professor Michele Fabrizio. He then moved to Columbia University as a postdoctoral fellow at the Princeton Center For Theoretical Science. He then began studying interacting light-matter systems and the dissipative dynamics of N-body systems. Since 2014, he has worked as a CNRS research fellow at the Institut de Physique Théorique (IPhT) at CEA-Saclay.
The aim of his projects at the Collège de France is to understand new phenomena emerging in strongly interacting quantum matter far from thermal equilibrium.
