Eisert studies quantum information and complex quantum systems, connecting mathematical questions about many interacting particles with the interpretation and design of quantum simulations.
Freie Universität BerlinarXiv / Nature PhysicsQuantum simulators need a theory of the behavior they aim to reproduce. Eisert's research examines how interacting systems evolve, approach equilibrium and retain information after a change in their conditions. His work connects quantum-information methods to many-body physics rather than treating every simulation as a universal quantum computer. This wider-directory entry points readers to a coauthored review that separates established results, open questions and the prospects for experimental quantum simulation.

Understanding quantum systems away from equilibrium
Eisert, Mathis Friesdorf and Christian Gogolin reviewed equilibration, thermalization and related dynamics in closed quantum many-body systems, including their connection to cold-atom and trapped-ion quantum simulations.
