FOR5522: Quantum thermalization, localization, and constrained dynamics with interacting ultracold atoms

This Research Unit investigates the out-of-equilibrium physics of closed quantum many-body systems and their thermalization properties. We use a combined effort of experiments with ultracold atoms in optical lattices and theoretical approaches. Our team involves researchers from the Universities of Augsburg, Göttingen, München, and Tübingen, Technical University of Munich, the Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, Garching, and the Max-Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, as well as two Mercator fellows from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and Stanford University, U.S.A.

More information about our Research Unit, its members and planned events can be found on our website.

This project is funded via the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) via Research Unit FOR5522 under project number 499180199.
