Information Content of locAlisation: fRom classical to qUantum Systems
In this project we study quantum dynamics in the presence of disorder, and specifically the Anderson and manybody localization transition to a phase where transport and thermalization are absent. Localization in quantum systems has both deep fundamental implications in many different fields and exciting practical applications in quantum technology. Given its peculiar properties, the problem of localization is a rich, challenging and lively topic with relevance to several subfields: condensed matter theory, the foundations of statistical physics, atomic, molecular and optical experiments, and exciting possible technological applications such as quantum memories. We aim to improve understanding of it with a three-fold approach: - Using methods from quantum information to understand systems with peculiar quantum dynamics; - Analysing dynamics in disordered and quasidisordered models using state of the art methods; - Developing new theoretical tools coming from the physics of disordered systems.

Project objective
The aim of this proposal is to study quantum dynamics in the presence of disorder, and specifically the Anderson and many-body localization transition to a phase where transport and thermalization are absent. Localization in quantum systems has both deep fundamental implications in many different fields and exciting practical applications in quantum technology.In this action the researcher, who is experienced in the statistical physics of quantum disordered systems, will address in a novel and timely way this topic. She aims to improve understanding of it with a three-fold approach: a quantum information experimental effort; new theoretical tools coming from the study of random matrices and the physics of glassy systems; and a joint work with a non-academic entity on numerical methods that use artificial neural networks for the classification of the localized phase.She will perform this work in the perfectly suited environment of the Thermodynamics and Energetics of Quantum Systems research group at Trinity College Dublin.
