Many-body localisation of ultracold fermionic atoms

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to understand many-body localised systems, a state of matter that never thermalises. Many-body localised systems are the only generic exceptions to thermalisation and so are not described by standard quantum statistical mechanics. They could be useful for quantum technology because they retain a quantum memory of their initial state and protect quantum information from decoherence. This project will use highly controllable settings of disordered ultracold fermions in two dimensions. The project is expected to increase knowledge of many-body quantum mechanics and promote Australia’s research at the forefront of ultracold atomic physics.
