Julia Wildeboer

Julia Wildeboer is a Researcher in the Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Her work bridges condensed matter theory, quantum information science, and computational physics, focusing on non-equilibrium quantum systems, topological phases, and quantum memory design.

• Ph.D.: Washington University in St. Louis (advisor: Prof. Alexander Seidel, Thesis: "Physics of Resonating Valence Bond Spin Liquids")
• M.Sc.: Technical University of Dresden, Germany

Her research spans quantum many-body scars, topological order in 2D systems, quantum dimer models, and non-Abelian anyons. She develops exactly solvable models for unconventional quantum phenomena and investigates entanglement entropy as a probe of topology. Recent work explores quantum phase transitions in kagome metals and symmetry-protected quantum memory.

Scientific contributions include designing novel quantum scars, solving sign-problems in Monte Carlo simulations, and proposing probes for topological order. Her publications highlight expertise in DMRG, exact diagonalization, and Monte Carlo methods. Contact: jwildeboe@bnl.gov.
