Prof. Frank Pollmann’s research focuses on various problems in the field of condensed matter theory, with a particular emphasis on the study of collective phenomena arising due to quantum mechanical effects in systems of correlated particles. His primary research areas include the exploration of topological phases of matter, frustrated spin systems, and the dynamics of disordered systems. To gain deeper insights into the physics of these systems, he employs concepts from quantum information theory, which have proven useful in acquiring a fundamental understanding of the structure of quantum many-body states and in designing efficient computer algorithms for numerical simulations of correlated quantum systems. Prof. Pollmann studied physics at TU Braunschweig and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. After completing his PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Physics of Complex Systems in 2006, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. He headed a junior research group at the Max Planck Institute from 2011, was appointed as an associate professor in 2016, and became a full professor at the Technical University of Munich in 2022.
