New publication entitled „Quantum-critical and dynamical properties of the XXZ bilayer with long-range interactions“ in Physical Review B (see https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.111.024409). Nice collaboration between LEP members Patrick Adelhardt, Antonia Duft, and Kai Phillip S...

Check out the new preprint 2412.17495 by LEP members Antonia Duft, Patrick Adelhardt, and Kai Phillip Schmidt entitled „Quantum Phase Diagram of the Bilayer Kitaev-Heisenberg Model“. Great collaboration with Elahe Samimi and Saeed S. Jahromi from Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences, Zan...

Colloidal particles can form network-like structures that slowly change in time. The dynamics of such gels varies a lot such that some gels are fluid-like while others are solid. However, the structural differences might be small . In a new article we show that neural networks nevertheless can di...

On 09.12. we had the great PhD defense of Matthias Walther under the supervision of Kai Phillip Schmidt. His thesis is entitled „Effective models for interacting Spin waves in two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets“. In particular, he developed non-perturbative continuous similarity transformation...

Nothing works as it should in the Physics Department, because … Physics has disappeared. How could this happen? Who is responsible for the disappearance? What a great show! On  December 3, 2024 the Christmas lecture 2024 of the physics department took place with more than 700 spectators. This yea...

On 06.12. we had the great PhD defense of Matthias Mühlhauser under the supervision of Kai Phillip Schmidt. His thesis is entitled „Graph decomposition techniques for quantum spin systems with multi-spin interactions“. In particular, he developed hypergraph expansions for quantum lattice models ...

Check out the new preprint 2411.19051 by LEP members Max Vieweg and Kai Phillip Schmidt entitled "Fracton and topological order in the XY checkerboard toric code". The conventional 2D toric code is the most paradigmatic, simplest, and exactly solvable model displaying topological order, which ha...

The Faculty of Sciences has awarded Kai Phillip Schmidt with a Teaching Award 2024. He was nominated by the physics students of our department for his teaching of Theoretical Physics III (Quantum Mechanics) and Rechenmethoden der Physik for first-year students. The price was hand over by our dean Jü...

Last week, the TRR 306 QuCoLiMa held its annual meetings at Kloster Banz, Bad Staffelstein, with many participants from the team of Kai Phillip Schmidt (kps_lab). RTG School: October 6 – 8 Annual Meeting: October 8 – 11 Besides interesting talks and posters from the subprojects, there was...

Harald Leiser from the team of Kai Phillip Schmidt did a great job yesterday in his master colloquium entitled „One quasi-particle properties of 1d quantum spin-systems by non-perturbative linked-cluster expansions“. The master project was done over the past year in close collaboration with Max Hörm...
