Bulk-boundary correspondence in quantum many-body systems. This project will develop theoretical and numerical methods to explore how the bulk properties of quantum materials at low temperature are manifested on the edge of the material. Characterising this bulk-boundary correspondence will uncover new regimes of physics and underpin the development of powerful quantum technologies in the laboratory.
Gravity and quantum-limited measurements with a fundamental minimum length. This project aims to investigate the effects of a fundamental minimum length on the nature of gravity and on how accurately we can make measurements in our world. The key challenge is to combine our best theories of fundamental physics to model what happens at ultra-short distances. This project will generate new knowledge at this interface by using a novel approach inspired by information theory.

This project aims to investigate the effects of a fundamental minimum length on the nature of gravity and on how accurately we can make measurements in our world. The key challenge is to combine our best theories of fundamental physics to model what happens at ultra-short distances. This project will generate new knowledge at this interface by using a novel approach inspired by information theory. The expected outcomes are new connections between fundamental limitations on measurements, the nature of gravitation, and ultra-small-scale quantum physics. The benefit of this work is breaking the logjam in answering the most important open question in all of physics: how to unite quantum theory and gravitation.Read moreRead less

Summary
Superspace and dualities in supersymmetric field theories, supergravity and string theory. Supersymmetry, supergravity and string theory have represented the most promising frontiers of high-energy theoretical physics. This project will develop new techniques and explore novel dynamical features at the forefront of some of the most exiting fields of fundamental physics.
