Andreas Deuchert


Andreas Deuchert portrait

I am currently an independent research fellow and lecturer at the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Zurich financed by an Ambizione Fellowship of the Swiss National Science Foundation. My main research interests are mathematical quantum mechanics and quantum statistical mechanics. More specifically I am applying techniques from Analysis, Functional Analysis and Probability to problems coming from condensed matter and cold atom physics. Currently I am mostly interested in the mathematics of Bose gases at positive temperature. Two other important themes of my work are mathematical aspects of the BCS theory of superconductivity and the physics of the angulon quasi-particle. For more information see my CV.


Introduction to the statistical mechanics of lattice systems

In the spring term 2023 I give a lecture with the title "Introduction to the statistical mechanics of lattice systems" (2 hrs lecture + 2 hrs exercise group, 6 ECTS) at the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Zurich (UZH). The lecture is indended for Bachelor and Master students in mathematics and physics at UZH and ETH Zurich. As prerequisite you need the basic courses in analysis and linear algebra. An introduction to probability theory is helpful but not required. For more information, please see the course website.


Master thesis

If you are interested in writing a Master thesis in quantum statistical mechanics (from a mathematical point of view) I would be happy if you contact me. As prerequiste you need at least one lecture in one of the following topics: Functional Analysis, PDE, Advanced topics in analysis, Mathematical quantum mechanics, Stability of matter in quantum mechanics or something comparable. A certain background in physics or an interest in physics is helpful.
