Assistant Professor Andre Erpenbeck is a theoretical condensed matter physicist studying nonequilibrium quantum many-body systems, with a particular focus on strongly correlated systems, quantum materials, and nanoscale devices. He develops numerical methods to understand how correlations, entanglement, and other emergent phenomena arise in complex quantum systems driven out of equilibrium. His work advances both the fundamental understanding of these systems and the development of quantum technologies by creating cutting-edge algorithms and applying them to challenges involving time-dependent processes, quantum transport, optically driven systems, and quantum computing platforms. Drawing on techniques such as quantum Monte Carlo, tensor networks, analytical approaches, and machine learning, he investigates the microscopic origins of collective behavior and pushes the limits of high-precision simulations for emerging quantum technologies.
