e. Condensed matter physics is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter, especially the solid and liquid phases, that arise from electromagnetic forces between atoms and electrons. More generally, the subject deals with condensed phases of matter: systems of many constituents with strong ...
She is Professor of Physics and the Fletcher Jones Foundation Co-Director of the Kavli Nanoscience Institute at the California Institute of Technology. [5] Yeh was the first female professor in that department when she joined in 1989. [2] She is also part of the Caltech Institute for Quantum Information and Matter. [6]
Eisenstein assumed emeritus status in 2018 and suspended his experimental research program in 2021. He has served on various National Research Council committees including the Solid State Sciences Committee and the Board on Physics and Astronomy. He was an associate editor of the Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics from 2014 to 2017.
Doctoral advisor. David Lee. Douglas Dean Osheroff (born August 1, 1945) is an American physicist known for his work in experimental condensed matter physics, in particular for his co-discovery of superfluidity in Helium-3. For his contributions he shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physics along with David Lee and Robert C. Richardson. [1]
Xie Chen (Chinese: 陈谐; pinyin: Chén Xié) is a Chinese physicist and a professor of theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology. [1] Her work covers both the field of condensed matter physics and quantum information, with a focus on many-body quantum mechanical systems with unconventional emergent phenomena. [2]
In condensed matter physics and black hole physics, the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model is an exactly solvable model initially proposed by Subir Sachdev and Jinwu Ye, [1] and later modified by Alexei Kitaev to the present commonly used form. [2][3] The model is believed to bring insights into the understanding of strongly correlated materials ...
Over the decades, experimental condensed matter physicists have discovered a number of exotic states of matter, including superconductors and superfluids.These states are described using the formalism of quantum field theory, but some phenomena are difficult to explain using standard field theoretic techniques.
The Walter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics is a research center at the California Institute of Technology focused on high-energy physics, condensed matter physics, astrophysics, general relativity, and cosmology. [1] It was founded in 2014. [2] Walter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics. Established.
