Frank Pollmann

My research interests are in theoretical condensed matter physics and in particular in systems with strongly correlated electrons. My current research activities focus on topological phases of matter, fractionalization on geometrically frustrated lattices, and the applications of quantum information concepts to quantum many-body systems.
