"This is a PhD project in theoretical physics. The topological properties of strongly interacting quantum systems will be studied. The project falls under condensend matter physics but has also strong links to high energy physics because of the emergent gauge fields which will be studied. The project will involve a mix of numerical and analytical calculations, where a photonic lattice will be the physical system studied. A recently developed feedback mechanism for the photonic lattice will make it possible to induce arbitrarily strong nonlinearities, in addition to arbitraryly strong long range interactions. This will provide the key to the lattice gauge theory structure. During the phd project we will collaborate extensively with experimantal groups in IPAQS but also have close collaboration with several internationally leading research groups. "

“这是一个理论物理学的博士项目。强相互作用量子系统的拓扑性质将被研究。该项目属于凝聚态物质物理学，但由于将研究新兴的规范场，因此与高能物理学也有很强的联系。该项目将涉及数值和分析计算的混合，其中光子晶格将是研究的物理系统。最近开发的光子晶格反馈机制将使诱导任意强的非线性，以及任意强的远程相互作用成为可能。这将为晶格规范理论的结构提供关键。在博士项目期间，我们将与IPAQS的实验小组广泛合作，同时也与几个国际领先的研究小组密切合作。”
