Thomas Kiely

My work explores quantum matter and many-body dynamics in settings that are accessible to current or near-term quantum simulators, from ultracold atoms to quantum computers.

• Transport properties

  How charge, spin and heat move through strongly interacting, low-dimensional quantum systems.

  4 papers

• Open and monitored dynamics

  Out-of-equilibrium states produced by measurement or dissipation, increasingly relevant for quantum computers.

  5 papers

• Strongly correlated phases

  Ground states and equilibrium phases where quantum fluctuations compete with strong interactions.

  9 papers

• Numerical methods

  Efficient classical simulation of quantum states with tensor networks, numerical path integrals and machine learning.

  10 papers
