Electronic systems whose properties are influenced by symmetries and topological aspects of the band structure have been actively studied in the past few years. Examples include materials such as graphene, topological insulators and superconductors, and Weyl semi-metals. This research project proposes to investigate some fundamental theoretical questions which, in spite of the rapid advan…

This project proposes a theoretical and original assessment of the thermodynamic properties of quantum systems subject to continuous measurements. This is currently one of the main methods used in quantum coherent experiments. However, its thermodynamic aspects are only now starting to be understood. This project is relevant, as it treats an extremely current topic of research, which is o…
The study of topological phases with exotic quasiparticles is one of the most active topics in condensed matter physics today. A well-studied recent example are Z_2-symmetric Majorana bound states in topological superconductors, with possible applications in topological quantum computation protocols. Another promising, albeit much less studied, example are Z_n-symmetric parafermionic mode…
The goal of this project is to introduce the student to the practices and methods used in research in theoretical condensed matter physics. Concretely, the student will work on analytical and numerical solutions for the time-evolution of low-dimensional electron system systems with Rashbaspin-orbit interaction. Starting with the study of elementary Quantum Mechanics concepts, the student …
Obtaining non-abelian anyons is one of the major goals within the field of topological states of matter. The simplest of these anyons, Majorana bound states, have been proposed as candidates for implementing topological quantum computation relying on its non-abelian statistics. Parafermions can be regarded as ZN generalizations of the Z2-symmetric Majorana bound states. They have a richer…
