Theory of strongly correlated quantum systems
|
|
I am primarily interested in theories of strongly correlated quantum systems, particularly in low dimensions where quantum
fluctuations can lead to interesting and exotic new states of matter. Examples of such systems include the fractional quantum Hall
effect, in which a two-dimensional gas of electrons in a perpendicular magnetic field condenses into an incompressible quantum fluid
whose elementary excitations exhibit fractional charge and statistics, and low-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets such as CsNiCl3,
where quantum fluctuations at T = 0 rise to highly correlated ground states very different than the classical Néel state. I also
study the effects of disorder and spin-orbit coupling on transport in the quantized Hall regime, and on some related problems of
localization physics.
