Ben Feldman

Faculty Type: 
Active Faculty
Title: 
Assistant Professor of Physics (start date 9/1/17)

Ben Feldman's appointment as an Assistant Professor of Physics at Stanford University begins on September 1, 2017, but he will be on leave at Princeton University as a Dicke postdoctoral fellow in the physics department until January 2018.  Ben's primary research interests are electronic correlations and quantum phenomena in low-dimensional systems. Ben has been working with Professor Ali Yazdani at Princeton, using scanning tunneling microscopy to study these effects in various different materials systems.

How does quantum matter organize under the interplay of superfluidity, crystallinity, and magnetism?  What might ultracold atomic gases teach us about quantum many-body physics? 

Professor Lev's research focuses on exploring the organizing principles of quantum matter through the development of techniques at the interface of ultracold atomic physics, quantum optics, and condensed matter physics.

What is the nature of quantum matter? How does complexity give rise to unusual and extreme properties? How can we best utilize these properties?

Professor Shen conducts fundamental and applied research on quantum matter. His primary interest is the physics of the “many”, where interactions among multiple constituencies give rise to novel properties not intrinsic to the individual components. His interest also includes ways to utilize the functionality of materials.

How does quantum decoherence occur? What is the correct theoretical description of strongly correlated electron materials?

The goal of Professor Moler’s research is to answer these two questions about the fundamental behavior of electrons in materials by

Does the renormalization group theory fully represent the behavior of second order phase transitions, or is a deeper theory needed? What is the nature of the supersolid state of matter recently reported at very low temperatures? What are the laws that govern the interplay of time and space?
