Quantum Fields Theory and Solid State Physics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the intersection of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and Solid State Physics, specifically in Paris. Notable research groups include Antoine Georges at CPHT, who employs dynamical quantum mean field theory to investigate strongly correlated materials, and Guillaume Malpuech, who studies light-matter interactions in low-dimensional structures. The CNRS website serves as a comprehensive resource for locating additional research groups and information in this field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
  • Familiarity with Solid State Physics concepts
  • Knowledge of dynamical quantum mean field theory
  • Awareness of research institutions like CNRS and CPHT
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the work of Antoine Georges at CPHT on strongly correlated materials
  • Explore the research of Guillaume Malpuech on light-matter interactions
  • Investigate the CNRS website for additional resources and research groups
  • Study the applications of dynamical quantum mean field theory in solid-state systems
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in solid-state physics, and students interested in the application of Quantum Field Theory in material science.

Hello!

Does any of you know someone in Paris who is working on Solid State Physics using Quantum Field Theory formalism ?

Thank you.

Well, nowadays a lot of solid-state theoreticians consider themselves to use QFT to some extent. Is there some specific subfield of solid state physics you are interested in?

Without further hints, I suppose the group of Antoine Georges at CPHT (belonging to the CNRS) uses quite some QFT. Their research focuses on using dynamical quantum mean field theory to study strongly correlated materials. I am not quite sure about the groups at LPMMC or Institut Neel. I think the group around Guillaume Malpuech, focusing on light-matter interaction in low-dimensional structures might also use QFT to some extent.

However, you might want to have a look at the CNRS website yourself to find what you are looking for. It is quite huge and complicated, but as research in Paris is pretty much centered there, you will find what you are looking for sooner or later.
