Hi, I am Joost Slingerland . I'm a theoretical
physicist working on
topological phenomena in condensed matter physics and on their application
to topological quantum computation. For some introductory material on topological quantum computing you can
view my Topological Quantum Media Pages.
I am a lecturer in the department of mathematical physics
at the National University of Ireland,
Maynooth.
I am also affiliated with the School of Theoretical Physics of
the Dublin Institute for Advanced
Studies (I was a Schrödinger Fellow there until
recently).
I am a member of DaQisT, the
Dublin Area Quantum Information Science and Technology Group.
RESEARCH
Here's a link to a list of my publications
and other writings.
I have obtained sponsorship for my research from the Science
Foundation Ireland in the form of a Principal
Investigator grant which started this year. I have hired a postdoc
and a PhD student. I have another funded PhD position available.
TEACHING
In the Fall of 2009, I am
teaching the following courses (click to visit the webpages)
Some history...
In 2006-2007, I was a
postdoc at UC Riverside, with
Kirill Shtengel, as well
as a long term visitor in theoretical physics at the Institute for Quantum Information
at Caltech.
Before that I worked at
Station Q , Microsoft's research station dedicated to topological
quantum computation, which was housed in the Kavli Institute for Theoretical
Physics at UCSB and has now
moved to the California Nanosystems
Institute, next door to the KITP.
