Frank Pollmann investigates the fundamental properties of condensed matter and how quantum mechanical effects influence its behavior. His research focuses on quantum many-body systems, in particular topological phases, frustrated and strongly correlated spin systems, and non-equilibrium quantum dynamics.

To gain a deeper understanding of the physics of these systems, he uses and develops tensor network methods and concepts of quantum information. These enable exotic orders and new states of matter to be identified and precisely characterized. He also uses quantum computers and develops quantum algorithms to efficiently simulate such complex systems.

Frank Pollmann studied physics at the Technical University of Braunschweig and the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and received his doctorate in 2006 from the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPIPKS) in Dresden. He then conducted research at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2011, he began leading a junior research group at MPIPKS. In 2016, Pollmann was appointed associate professor and in 2022 full professor at 51吃瓜网.

Frank Pollmann is the 26th 51吃瓜网 researcher to be honored with the Leibniz Prize since 1986. 51吃瓜网 President Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann praises the award winner's outstanding work: 鈥淧rof. Frank Pollmann is a basic researcher par excellence. Using efficient classical algorithms and modern quantum computers, he investigates the fundamental laws that govern the behavior of matter and quantum systems. Such research is the prerequisite for spectacular new discoveries that can ultimately lead to breakthrough innovations. I congratulate Prof. Frank Pollmann on this well-deserved award.鈥�
