Professor Adrian Kantian

Heriot Watt University, UK
Adrian Kantian and his group at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, UK) work on novel theory for engineering unconventional superconductors and superconducting devices with controlled and predictable properties from low-dimensional model materials. Further work focuses on the theory of dynamically induced superconductivity, unconventional superconductivity in the Bechgaard and Fabre salts and analog quantum simulation of high-Tc superconductivity using atomic lattice gases. The group focusses of quantitative numerics such as matrix product states and  Quantum Monte Carlo for fermions, with a particular interest in novel fusions of these approaches with other techniques to further extend their usefulness.
