Schachenmayer | Computational Quantum Many-body Theory

Johannes Schachenmayer received his PhD in 2012 from the University of Innsbruck (Austria), with a two-year research stay at the University of Pittsburgh (USA). He then completed a three-year postdoctoral fellowship at JILA in Boulder (USA) before joining the CNRS at the University of Strasbourg as a Chargé de Recherche in 2016. He is currently leading research on computational quantum many-body theory at the Centre Européen de Sciences Quantiques (CESQ) within the Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires (ISIS) of the University of Strasbourg and the CNRS. His work, supported by national (ANR, CNRS Emergence, LabEx/IdEx/ITI, Prix Espoirs de l’Université de Strasbourg, etc.) and EU-funded projects (MSCA-DN), uses advanced computational methods to explore emergent phenomena in many-body systems, with applications in cold atoms, condensed matter, quantum computing, and chemistry. He has recently pioneered an interdisciplinary approach, developing quantum theory models for polaritonic chemistry—an emerging field at the intersection of quantum physics and chemistry.
