Disordered topological matter (A03)

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

Project A03 addresses the physics of topology and entanglement in systems lacking translational invariance. The project includes two principal lines of activity. The first explores the stability of topological phases in the presence of disorder, and the generation of novel boundary phenomena by conspiracies of impurity scattering and topological structures. The second focuses on statistical distributions of systems with strong entanglement such as SYK matter, systems with Fock space or many body localization, and random tensor networks.
