Our paper on exploring the geometric structure of energy bands using a strong force dynamics has been published in Science. Geometry and topology of electronic states in solids play a central role in a wide range of modern condensed-matter phenomena, ranging from the Quantum Hall effect over the peculiar physics of Graphene to Topological Insulator…

Our paper on the dimensional crossover of Many-body localization was published as an Editor's suggestion in PRL. In this work we could show that individual localized systems can-when coupled together-start to act as a bath for themselves and restore ergodic behavior.Many-Body Localization (MBL) represents a generic alternative to thermalization in…

Cavmag: News from the Cavendish Laboratory.Our Many-body group has been featured in the latest issue of Cavmag: News from the Cavendish Laboratory.

Our paper on the emergence of coherence far from equilibrium was published in PRL (PRL 115, 175301) and has an accompanying viewpoint in Physics.Long-range coherence is typically restricted to equilibrium situations at low temperatures. Here we have, in stark contrast, for the first time managed to observe the dynamic emergence of coherence in a sy…

We have observed a novel state of matter that, despite being interacting, never thermalizes. In this Many-Body Localized State, the Quantum Matter is literally stuck in unrest: Science 349, 842 (2015)We have observed a novel state of matter that, despite being interacting, never thermalizes. Such Many-Body Localized States represent a new class of …
