Johannes Flick

Johannes Flick is an Assistant Professor at the City College of New York and an Associate Research Scientist at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics within the Flatiron Institute. His work bridges quantum optics, electronic structure theory, and quantum information processing, focusing on light-matter interactions in the strong-coupling regime.

• Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics, Fritz Haber Institute and Humboldt University, Berlin
• Diploma in Physics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
• Postdoctoral Researcher, Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter
• DFG Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard University

Research Interests:
Johannes develops quantum-electrodynamical density-functional theory (QEDFT) methods to model strongly coupled light-matter systems, with applications in catalysis, spectroscopy, and quantum technologies. His work explores nonlinear light-matter coupling, excited-state nanophotonics, and polaritonic chemistry.

Article Trends:
Recent publications emphasize QEDFT extensions, machine learning-driven functionals, and quantum simulations in cavity environments, covering electron-photon interactions, defect dynamics in diamond, and topological optical resonances in 2D materials.
