RESEARCH

The research group led by Federica Surace focuses on the theory of quantum many-body systems, with particular emphasis on nonequilibrium dynamics and their implementation on quantum simulation platforms. Combining analytical and numerical methods, we study how quantum many-body systems approach thermal equilibrium, when and why they fail to do so, and the relevant timescales governing these processes. Our goal is to deepen the understanding of quantum manybody dynamics—a notoriously challenging problem due to the limitations of classical simulation methods—while incorporating the novel capabilities and noise eAects inherent to quantum devices. In addition, we explore the use of quantum simulators to address long-standing questions in quantum many-body physics, with applications spanning both condensed matter and high-energy physics.
