Michael Knap arbeitet auf dem Gebiet der Theorie der kondensierten Materie. Seine Forschung untersucht unkonventionelle Quantenphasen in stark korrelierten Vielteilchensystemen, sowohl im thermischen Gleichgewicht als auch außerhalb. Wechselwirkungen und Korrelationen in kondensierter Materie führen zu eindrucksvollen Phänomenen, die durch das kollektive Verhalten der Quantenteilchen entstehen. Um die Effekte der Wechselwirkungen zwischen Quantenteilchen zu verstehen, entwickelt Michael neuartige numerische Ansätze auf Basis der Quanteninformationstheorie, nutzt künstliche Intelligenz und maschinelles Lernen und forscht an Algorithmen für Quantencomputer.

Abstract: Fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states and superconductors typically require contrasting conditions, yet recent experiments have observed them in the same device. A natural explanation is that mobile…

Abstract: Bose-Fermi mixtures can be realized in semiconductor heterostructures, with bosons as excitons and fermions as dopant charges. However, the complexity of these hybrid systems challenges understanding…

Abstract: We construct parametrized isometric tensor network states—referred to as “skeletons”—that allow us to explore phases of Abelian topological order and can be efficiently implemented on quantum…

Abstract: Prethermalization phenomena in driven systems are generally understood via a local Floquet Hamiltonian obtained from a high-frequency expansion. Remarkably, recently it has been shown that a driven…

Abstract: A nonlocal string order parameter detecting topological order and deconfinement has been proposed by Fredenhagen and Marcu (FM). However, due to the lack of exact internal symmetries for lattice…
