Computational Physics
Research: Quantum dynamics
Our approach to study the dynamical properties of a quantum system is to solve numerically, and without additional approximations,
the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the model Hamiltonian.
We are currently working on
- The simulation of electron-spin-resonance (ESR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments on nanoscale magnets
- Transport properties of graphene
- Quantum dynamics of molecular magnets and diluted magnets
- Quantum annealing
- The simulation of physical realizations of quantum computer hardware
- Fundamental questions of the foundations of statistical physics mainly such as the question how a system of interacting particles dynamically evolves to a stationary state (e.g. thermal equilibrium)
