 Debanjan Chowdhury |
I am interested in different aspects of interactions, topology, and disorder in electronic quantum matter. I am usually inspired by experimental puzzles that highlight evidence of non-Fermi liquid transport, unconventional superconductivity beyond a weak-coupling limit, and quantum criticality that does not fit into the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm.

 Peter Armitage |
I am an experimentalist who is interested in quantum states of matter including magnets, superconductors, and topological materials. I exploit and develop techniques using low frequency microwave and THz range radiation that probe these systems at their natural frequency scales. The material systems of interest often require new measurement techniques as their relevant frequencies typically fall between the range of usual optical and electronic methods.

 Margaret Murnane |
Our group is developing new probes of quantum matter using coherent X-ray beams. More than 60 years after the demonstration of the visible laser, it is finally possible to generate laser-like beams spanning the deep-UV, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray regions of the spectrum by harnessing high harmonic upconversion of femtosecond lasers. Moreover, by combining phase matching techniques and selection rules, we can achieve exquisite “quantum” control over x-ray light. It is now possible to produce short wavelength waveforms with controlled spectral and temporal shapes, polarization state, and phase structure.

 Frank Pollmann |
My research focuses on a variety of problems in the field of condensed matter theory. My main focus lies on the study of collective phenomena which arise due to quantum mechanical effects in systems of correlated particles. Areas of research include the study of topological phases of matter, many-body systems out of equilibrium, and the development of tensor-network based methods.

 Subir Sachdev |
I study the quantum phases of strongly interacting matter. Recent interests include the quantum phase transitions of metals in the presence of disorder, and the role of spin liquid-type correlations in metallic and superconducting phases, including those found in the cuprates.
