[LA-SiGMA] Dr. Philip Stamp - LASiGMA Seminar, Wednesday, October 24, 3:30 p.m.

[sjlee at cct.lsu.edu]

Dear All,

The next LASiGMA Seminar will be given by Dr. Philip Stamp. Dr.  
Stamps's talk is scheduled for Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 3:30  
p.m., and will be hosted by Tulane in the Lindy Boggs Hall, room 242.  
The title of his talk is "Coherence and Decoherence in Molecular  
Magnets."

Dr. Stamp began research as a low-T experimentalist, working on  
superfluids for his MSc project; his first 4 papers were experimental.  
He switched to theory for his PhD, and throughout his postdoc years,  
and for the first few years as a faculty member, he worked mainly on  
strongly-correlated fermion systems, including He-3, heavy fermions,  
and high-Tc superconductivity. Beginning in about 1997 he started to  
concentrate more on problems involving large-scale quantum phenomena,  
particularly in magnetic systems, where he pioneered a lot of the  
theory. He also developed a stronger interest in a broad range of  
‘statistical physics’ problems, which led to, eg., the development of  
a ‘spin bath theory’ for localized environmental modes (this  
development is still very active), to work on decoherence and quantum  
information theory, and some more unusual work related to this (eg.,  
collaboration with string theorists on models of decoherence).  
Currently, he is working on problems in both nanoscience and general  
statistical physics, as well as some work on strongly-correlated  
systems.
