 ational Physics\, EPFL\n15:15  Inaugural lecture Prof. A. Läuchli\n15:55
   Inaugural lecture Prof. Ch. Rüegg\n\nStrongly interacting quantum many
  body systems play an important role in a number of fields of modern phys
 ics\, such as condensed matter physics or quantum simulators. In this lec
 ture I will show a few examples of our work at the interface of condensed
  matter theory\, statistical physics\, quantum field theory\, quantum inf
 ormation and computational physics in addressing questions related to qua
 ntum spin liquids\, quantum thermalization and the characterization of qua
 ntum critical points. \n\nBio\nAndreas Läuchli studied theoretical and 
 computational physics at ETH Zürich and obtained his PhD in 2003 at the 
 same institution. After a postdoctoral stay in Toulouse\, he was a project
  leader and lecturer at IRRMA and EPFL from 2004 to 2008. From 2008 to 20
 11 he lead a research group in the condensed matter division of the MPI P
 KS in Dresden. In 2011 he was appointed professor of theoretical physics a
 t the University of Innsbruck\, where he also lead the institute for theo
 retical physics from 2013 to 2017. Since fall 2021 he heads the laboratory
  for theoretical and computational physics at the Paul Scherrer Institute
  (PSI) in Villigen and is a full professor of physics at EPFL. \n\nHis r
 esearch interests covers emergent phenomena in strongly interacting quantu
 m many body systems\, ranging from condensed matter systems\, to quantum 
 simulators and strongly coupled quantum field theories. He uses sophistica
 ted numerical algorithms and theoretical concepts to reveal new phases of
  quantum matter\, to study the non-equilibrium dynamics of interacting qu
 antum systems and explores how traces of quantum field theories manifest i
 n numerical simulations especially in spectra of various kinds. He also e
 njoys interacting with experimental groups in condensed matter physics an
 d beyond.
