Abstract
Quantum many-body theory has been revolutionized by computational approaches. Rooted in novel conceptual perspectives, powerful methods based on 'sampling', 'compressing' and 'embedding' quantum information have transformed our ability to understand interacting quantum matter, ranging from quantum materials with strong electronic correlations to ultra-cold atomic gases – with direct relevance to experiments and, looking forward, to materials design.
Biography
After initial steps in the statistical mechanics of disordered systems, Antoine Georges has focused his research on the physics of interacting quantum systems such as materials with strong electronic correlations, quantum impurity models and cold atomic gases in optical lattices. He is one of the co-inventors of Dynamical Mean-Field Theory, for which he shared the 2006 Europhysics Condensed Matter Prize, the 2020 Aneesur Rahman Prize and the 2022 Feenberg Medal.
Antoine Georges is a Professor at Collège de France, Paris and the Director of the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) at the Flatiron Institute, Simons Foundation, New York. He is a member of the French Academy of Sciences and an international member of the National Academy of Sciences (USA).
