University of Leeds 
Leeds, United Kingdom Project Description
Do you have a background in lattice gauge theories, non-equilibrium physics or numerical simulations of quantum many-body systems? Would you like to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities?
The project will involve the development of new theoretical and computational approaches for quantum critical phenomena using the recent approach known as the "fuzzy sphere". The focus areas of the project include conformal field theories in 2+1 dimension and their numerical simulations using the noncommutative geometry of the fuzzy sphere (in particular, via exact diagonalisation, matrix product state and neural quantum state methods). Some of our recent papers relevant to the position include:
