Professor Anatoli Polkovnikov’s research interests line in the area of strongly correlated systems. With recent advances in experiments in systems weakly coupled to the environment, for example in cold atoms, new problems emerge which require theoretical understanding. In particular, new theoretical tools and methods are necessary for description of dynamics of strongly correlated systems. He is studying both equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems in different areas of condensed matter physics. His research interests include physics of cold atoms and spin systems, superconductivity, interplay of disorder and interactions, statistical mechanics of flux lines in superconductors. He is combining both analytical and numerical approaches to get better understanding of particular problems. In his research, he is trying to get connected to either existing or possible in the near future experiments.
