معرفی
Jay D. Sau is a Professor of Physics at the University of Maryland, College Park, and Co-Director of the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI). His research focuses on theoretical condensed matter physics, particularly topological quantum computing, quantum many-body systems, and Majorana fermions. He holds affiliations with the Condensed Matter Theory Center (CMTC) and JQI. Sau received his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in 2008. His work bridges theoretical concepts in topological materials, superconductivity, and quantum information processing.
Research Interests: Sau's primary interests include applying topological principles to solid-state and cold-atomic systems for quantum computation. Key areas include topological superconductivity, Majorana fermions, quantum Hall effects, and spin-orbit coupled systems. His group explores phenomena like topological degeneracy, Weyl semimetals, and cold atomic gases.
Awards: He has been recognized with the National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2016) and the Sloan Research Fellowship (2016). His work has been published extensively in high-impact journals and covers topics ranging from Majorana physics to quantum phase transitions.
Advising & Labs: Sau mentors graduate students including Tamoghna Barik, Stuart Thomas, Huan-Kuang Wu, and Shuyang Wang. His research group collaborates on projects at JQI and CMTC, focusing on experimental realizations of topological qubits and quantum devices.
