Dr. Erik Sørensen

Biography

My research is focused on quantum condensed matter theory and computational physics. In general, I work in the area of strongly correlated systems, often on low-dimensional models of frustrated magnets and electronic and superconducting systems. To understand these materials, we exploit tools from quantum information and the relations these concepts have to strongly correlated systems. I have a strong interest in computational physics and numerical methods, and a considerable part of my research uses advanced numerical techniques such as tensor networks, density matrix renormalization group methods, and quantum Monte Carlo. My group makes extensive use of parallel computing facilities such as SHARCnet and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (formerly Compute Canada).
