Pichler Group - Quantum Science Theory
The research group led by Hannes Pichler studies quantum optical systems, quantum many-body physics and quantum information. The group aims at laying the theoretical foundations for next generation experiments in quantum science and technology, often in close collaborations with experimental teams. The main research interests are focussed on developing the theoretical tools to understand and describe quantum many-body systems, propose protocols to manipulate and probe them, and develop applications exploiting many-body quantum effects.

Zache Group - Quantum Simulation Theory
The group led by Torsten Zache performs research in Theoretical Quantum Simulation, at the interface of quantum information, condensed matter, and high-energy physics. The focus lies on fundamental questions that cannot be answered by traditional perturbative methods or classical computer simulations, such as the behaviour of strongly correlated quantum many-body systems far from equilibrium. A central goal is the development of quantum algorithms for simulating quantum field theories---both for analog quantum simulators based on trapped ions or neutral atoms, as well as for universal quantum computers. To this end, we employ a variety of analytical and numerical methods, and often work in close contact with experimentalists.
