For...19 September 2023|IQP SchmelcherExploring disordered quantum spin modelsPhoto: AG SchmelcherMany phenomena that we find in nature are a result of the collective behaviour of constituent particles interacting with each other at the quantum...8 May 2023|IQP SchmelcherHidden Symmetries in Wave SystemsOpposite to the well-known manifest geometrical symmetries of a device latent symmetries are hidden symmetries. They become accessible only by...29 January 2023|IQP SchmelcherDynamical excitation processes and correlations of three-body two-dimensional mixturesPhoto: AG SchmelcherFew-body bound states are instrumental in understanding distinct phases of matter and universal phenomena like the Efimov effect. Quantum gases cooled...
