Nonequilibrium processes in many-body quantum systems

Study of fundamental aspects of quantum dynamics and quantum
transport in many-body systems

  • Dissipation, interference, decoherence, Markovianity

  • Localization, correlation

  • Fluctuations, multistability

  • Quantum phase transitions, nonlinear
    quantum environments

  • Transient dynamics and relaxation to
    steady state, thermalization

  • Nonadiabatic effects
