His research has spanned non-equilibrium dynamics, statistical mechanics, quantum transport, and chaos theory.

Prosen earned his Diploma in Physics in 1991, and a Doctorate of Science in 1995, both from the University of Ljubljana.

[2] Tomaž Prosen is primarily known for providing the first exact solutions for models of open quantum many-body systems and for the discovery of novel kinds of quantum conservation laws that settled long-standing questions about the nature of transport in fundamental models of low-dimensional quantum materials, such as the Heisenbeg spin chains and the one-dimensional Hubbard model.

He is also known for pioneering a novel approach for establishing quantum chaos in spin-1/2 systems, for which previously known semi-classical methods fail.

[6] This approach challenged conventional beliefs in theoretical physics by providing an exact solution to the dynamics of a chaotic model.
