research
My research spans a variety of topics, primarily using a theoretical and mathematical approach—often incorporating probabilistic methods and numerical techniques—while remaining grounded in phenomenological aspects. A unifying theme is the study of complex quantum systems, specifically those where the presence of infinitely many quantum degrees of freedom generates phenomena absent at the classical level or in smaller systems. To paraphrase P.W. Anderson, if more is different, then quantum more is even more different. Key research interests include: quantum phase transitions, open quantum systems and measurement theory, probabilistic methods for many-body systems, quantum computing, chiral systems, quantum chaos, the semiclassical limit, nonlinear Schrödinger equations, mesoscopic systems, quantum degeneracy in dilute gases, quantum noise in tunneling, Auger spectroscopy, and stochastic resonance.
