معرفی
Dr. Erez Zohar is an Associate Professor at the Racah Institute of Physics, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. His research focuses on the intersection of quantum many-body theories, quantum information, and quantum optics, particularly addressing challenges in strongly correlated systems and their applications to particle physics. In 2025, he will transition to the School of Physics and Astronomy at Tel Aviv University.
Education:
- BSc in Physics and Mathematics, Tel Aviv University (2009)
- Doctoral research at Tel Aviv University under Prof. Benni Reznik
Dr. Zohar works on developing novel tools for quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories, combining tensor network states with Monte Carlo methods to tackle non-perturbative problems in high energy physics. His research includes constructing gauge-invariant tensor networks with fermionic matter fields and mapping high-energy physics models to laboratory-controllable systems.
His recent publications focus on quantum simulation of non-Abelian gauge theories, truncation-free QED simulations with Josephson arrays, and advancements in fermionic PEPS for gauge theories. The work demonstrates expertise in tensor networks, quantum field theory, and quantum computing applications.
Scientific Awards:
- ERC Consolidator Grant (2023) for the OverSign project
- Adams Fellowship (during PhD at Tel Aviv University)
Dr. Zohar's research program aims to reconstruct physical theories from fundamental components, revealing new perspectives in quantum field theory and enabling experimental approaches to previously inaccessible systems.
