Research
We are interested in the development of quantum coherence in condensed matter, including superconductivity and superfluidity. Particular systems of interest are superfluids of strongly interacting photons within materials and cold atomic gases, as well as doped transition metal oxides including cuprates and titanates. Separately, we are working on the applications of novel materials to energy technologies. We use theoretical methods ranging from quantum field theory to ab initio electronic structure.
Topics: Quantum Condensed Matter Theory , Superfluidity, Superconductivity, Materials for Energy
