PROJECT

Extending frontiers in condensed matter and particle physics through computational field theory methods

he project encompasses broad avenues in the quantum field theories, with the research component ranging from the investigation of particle physics systems to zero-point energy and anomalous transport in nanomechanical systems. These research areas appear in our project on the same footing via a unifying role of lattice gauge theories. We will borrow well-developed numerical techniques and established analytical methods from lattice gauge theories to address current problems in the quantum anomalies and finite system zero-point (Casimir) energies in high-energy and solid-state branches of physics.
The topics of interest include quantum anomalies, thermodynamic phases, finite-size Casimir effects, and topologically protected classical solutions. The phenomena have their counterparts in condensed matter physics. The project aims to study these effects in polymers, newly discovered quantum materials, and particle physics systems.
