Measurement and control of open quantum matter (B02)

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

This project is committed to shaping the theory of driven open quantum matter, characterized by an interplay of unitary dynamics, dissipation and decoherence, and measurements. It is realized, for example, in noisy intermediate scale quantum platforms. On the one hand, this comprises establishing concepts for manipulation, steering and diagnostics of such systems. On the other hand, we aim at an understanding of fundamental questions such as the nature and observability of measurement induced phase transitions, or the robustness of quantum information in many-body systems.
