Abstract

This postdoctoral research project aims to provide computational support in DMRG and other tensornetwork techniques for various projects within the broad Thematic Project in a highly collaborative research environment. The candidate will collaborate closely with Professor Luis Gregorio Dias and other Thematic project members, contributing to specific sub-projects on (i) emergent parafermionic zero-modes, (ii) many-body quantum scars, and (iii)non-Hermitian correlated systems.
