Sol H. Jacobsen
About
My research interests are in fundamental quantum physics and my current work is primarily with superconductors and magnetic systems in the QuSpin centre of excellence in spintronics. My background covers a wide variety of topics in fundamental quantum theory, from quantum error correction, entanglement, optimal state preservation, integrable systems and quantum optics. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Tasmania, Australia, under the guidance of Peter Jarvis, and I received a joint honours degree in Physics with Philosophy from the University of York, U.K., where I received the university's Goodwin Prize for my dissertation. I have three young children who keep me busy the rest of the time.
