This $254,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports theoretical and computational research and education at the University of Washington to investigate the behavior of quantum many-body systems. The key products and services to be delivered include:

Classifying topological quantum phases of matter, including those out of equilibrium and protected by additional symmetries, by combining ideas from condensed matter physics, quantum field theory, and quantum information theory. This includes connecting topological features of quantum field theories to topological invariants extractable from lattice Hamiltonians, and exploring the utility of quantum cellular automatons and conformal bootstrap techniques to understand exotic symmetry-protected topological phases. The award will also explore topological effects in non-equilibrium settings, such as measurement-induced entanglement transitions.

In addition, the principal investigator will support and mentor graduate students throughout their PhD progress, helping to educate them in the relevant areas of condensed matter physics and develop their written and oral communication skills. The award period is from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026.
