Type of internship
Théorique, numérique Description
n this stage we will study solitons appearing at the edges of 2D quantum materials. Our focus will be specifically on the fractional quantum Hall effect, a paradigmatic topological system composed of strongly correlated electrons confined in a two-dimensional plane and in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field.
In recent years, we have contributed to the understanding of the fact that such theory is the quantum version of the Korteweg De-Vries equation. The question is natural: will this theory support quantum solitons? The master student selected for this internship will try to find the answer using analytical and numerical approaches.
