Complex Networks, Chaos & Non-linearities

The theoretical physics team studies the structure and random walks on complex classical and quantum networks, classical, semi-classical and quantum dynamical systems, and develops mathematical and numerical tools for these studies (Google matrices, Floquet and Koopman operators, fractal geometry, big data methods,...).

Our main study topics are:

• Analysis of complex networks resulting from big data (and applications in economic and social sciences, biology, ecology, etc.)
• Classical dynamical systems (modeling using simple maps), chaos and fractals
• Quantum systems driven by classical systems, spin networks & quantum chaos
• Non-linear molecular networks & quantum walks
