New preprint! Continuing on our work of describing quantum measurements as a dynamical, unitary process, here we apply these principles to numerical simulations of a more realistic many-body system -- a lattice of hopping particles arxiv.org/abs/2608.11319

The idea is for the particles to 'measure' the position of an impurity by being attracted towards it, so by observing them, you can tell where the impurity is. The paper deals with how well this works in practice for different Hamiltonian parameters

But the real pleasure from working on this paper was doing so as an effective second supervisor to the lead author, Katja. My first proper experience of the joys of mentorship, and it was very satisfying!
