U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Out-of-Equilibrium Dynamics of Quantum Systems

0128922 Chaone这个为期三年的凝聚态物理理论美法合作奖项由波士顿大学、诺曼高等研究院、高等物理学院和法国巴黎L能源原子委员会的学生和教职员工参加。来自波士顿和巴黎的克劳迪奥·查蒙和莱蒂西亚·库利安多洛将分别领导这个合作项目。理论工作包括研究驱动和非驱动系统中的量子非平衡动力学。这些研究集中在老化动力学，无限维量子自旋玻璃系统，电子玻璃中的老化和记忆效应，以及量子线、量子点和碳纳米管中的噪声、量子涨落、电荷、自旋。这项合作利用了法国在量子系统、自旋玻璃模型和电子眼镜动力学方面的互补专业知识。该奖项代表美方向NSF和法国国家科学研究中心(CNRS)提出的联合建议。NSF将支付美国调查人员和研究生的旅费和生活费。CNRS将支持法国与会者访问美国。这一合作将促进对量子系统以及计算和理论方法的理解。理论结果将应用于实验数据，并引导统计力学和量子凝聚态物理的新的交叉学科的研究方向。

0128922ChamonThis three-year award for U.S.-France collaboration in condensed matter physics theory involves students and faculty researchers at Boston University, Ecole Normale Superieure, Ecole Superieure de Physique et Chimie, and Commission de l'Energie Atomique in Paris, France. Claudio Chamon and Leticia Cugliandolo from Boston and Paris respectively will lead the collaborative program. The theoretical work involves studies of quantum non-equilibrium dynamics in both driven and non-driven systems. The research focuses on aging dynamics, infinite dimensional quantum spin glass systems, aging and memory effects in electronic glasses, and noise, quantum fluctuations, charge, spin in quantum wires, quantum dots, and carbon nanotubes . The collaboration takes advantage of complementary French expertise in quantum systems, spin glass models, and dynamics in electronic glasses. This award represents the US side of joint proposals to the NSF and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). NSF will cover travel funds and living expenses of the US investigators and graduate students. The CNRS will support visits to US of the French participants. The collaboration will advance understanding of quantum systems and computational and theoretical methods. The theoretical results will be applied to experimental data and lead to new interdisciplinary research directions in statistical mechanics and quantum condensed matter physics.
