Thomas Barthel is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Duke University. He specializes in theoretical numerical many-body physics with a focus on quantum condensed matter systems and strongly correlated quantum matter. His research interests encompass phase transitions, dynamic responses, criticality, and universality within nonequilibrium phenomena. Barthel also investigates open driven-dissipative quantum systems and transport scaling evolution entanglement through integrable models. His work includes significant contributions to the understanding of quantum computation simulations and the investigation of quantum matter using ultracold atoms in optical lattices. Additionally, he studies stochastic dynamics in networks, rare events, and epidemic outbreaks, utilizing tensor network states to expand the applications of modern physics to real-world problems.
