This is the second incarnation of my personal website hosted by the Department of Physics at The University of Texas at Austin. Here you will find useful information about me along some of my recent research interests and publications. Feel free to roam around and explore as much as you like!
My name is Matthias Sitte and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Allan MacDonald at the Center for Complex Quantum Systems at The University of Texas at Austin. One of the goals of this website is to present myself and my work, so obviously a big topic of this site is Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics.
The physics of quantum many-body systems is very rich and gives rise to remarkable collective states of matter that have no counterpart in their classical analogs. Some examples of such quantum states of matter include superfluids, superconductors, Mott insulators, topological quantum liquids, topological insulators, etc.
A recent list of my publications, talks, and seminars plus electronic copies of my Ph.D. thesis on the quantum Hall effect and surface criticality in topological insulator and my Diploma thesis (the German equivalent of a Master's thesis) on quantum criticality at conductance plateau transitions in one-dimensional quantum wires.
