Peter Orth

Peter Orth is an Associate Professor at Iowa State University, specializing in theoretical condensed matter physics. His research focuses on dissipative dynamics, quantum phase transitions, and novel quantum phases in cold-atom systems. He holds a Ph.D. from Yale University (2011), where his dissertation explored strongly correlated cold-atom mixtures under the advisement of Karyn Le Hur.

His work investigates quantum spin systems interacting with bosonic baths, dynamics of quantum Ising models, and emergent phases like supersolidity in Bose-Fermi mixtures. Experimental setups proposed include cold-atom systems with state-selective trapping potentials for observing critical phenomena.
