معرفی
Nir Navon is an Associate Professor of Physics at Yale University, leading the Ultracold Quantum Matter Lab. His research focuses on the quantum many-body problem using synthetic ultracold matter in programmable traps. He investigates emergent order in homogeneous quantum systems and far-from-equilibrium dynamics of quantum fluids.
Education:
- Bachelor's/Master's: Université Libre de Bruxelles and École Polytechnique (France)
- PhD: École Normale Supérieure, Paris (2011)
Research Interests: Exploring collective phenomena in ultracold atomic gases, including Bose-Einstein condensates and Fermi gases. Key areas include quantum turbulence, strongly correlated systems, and the interplay between equilibrium/non-equilibrium dynamics. Techniques involve optical box trapping and advanced diagnostics of quantum fluids.
Awards:
- NSF CAREER Award (2020)
- Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship (2019)
- David & Lucile Packard Fellowship (2017)
Lab & Collaborations: The Navon Lab at Yale employs state-of-the-art experimental setups to probe quantum matter. Recent work includes studies on Fermi polarons, sound wave emergence in Fermi fluids, and quantum Joule-Thomson effects. The lab collaborates with institutions like Trinity College (Cambridge) and the Weizmann Institute.
