Many-Body Finite-Time Quantum Engines by Victor Mukherjee

Explore the concept of many-body finite-time quantum engines in this 40-minute lecture by Victor Mukherjee from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the stability of quantum matter in and out of equilibrium at various scales, examining the behavior of coherent many-body quantum systems under external drives. Investigate mechanisms constraining many-body dynamics in Hilbert space, including Many-body localization (MBL), Floquet MBL, Dynamical Freezing, and Hilbert Space Fragmentation. Gain insights into potential novel phases of quantum matter and their implications for quantum technologies. Learn how this research draws from diverse disciplines such as Condensed Matter Physics, Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, and Mathematics to address the many-body stability problem and its applications in quantum device operation and control.
