The Maximilians Medal for Sciences and Arts is the highest distinction in Bavaria for outstanding contributions in these two disciplines. Immanuel Bloch receives the medal for his pioneering works in quantum physics with which he has […]
Patrick Emonts (MPQ)Monte Carlo sampling is commonly used in machine learning, for example to sample restricted Boltzmann machines.
Caroline de Groot (MPQ)In part 1, I’ll describe work done with Alex Turzillo and Norbert Schuch in which we address the question of whether symmetry protected topological order (SPTO) exists in open systems by preserving […]
Professor Ignacio Cirac, head of the Theory Group at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, is one of ten winners in the Physical Sciences category of this year’s Falling Walls Award. The Falling Walls […]

Georgios Styliaris (MPQ):The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) Hamiltonian is perhaps the most basic model encompassing the key concepts of a topological insulator.
Adrián Franco Rubio (MPQ):As one progresses in the study of theoretical physics, the concept of chirality shows up in a variety of different places, with the adjective “chiral” being attached to different entities in different […]
Simon Lieu (JQI Maryland)Quantum phase transitions come in a variety of flavors, including symmetry-breaking transitions and symmetry-protected topological transitions.
Pavel Kos (MPQ):We study thermalisation and spectral properties of extended systems connected, through theirboundaries, to a thermalising Markovian bath.
