Nur Ünal

I am a theoretical physicist at the University of Cambridge working on condensed matter systems with a specific focus on ultracold quantum gases. I investigate various novel phenomena including but not limited to topologically protected states, out-of-equilibrium dynamics, Floquet systems, superconductivity, localization, synthetic gauge fields, fractional quantum Hall and non-Abelian physics. I am particularly interested in artificial systems cleverly designed to simulate and study these quantum phenomena. As such, although my work is mainly theoretical, I also collaborate closely with experiments to take full advantage of these state-of-the-art quantum simulators (my collaborations include major groups across Europe, UK, US and China, rf. publications). This allows me to both address fundamental pursuits at the forefront of research and explore new ways to harness them in laboratories by breaking them down into their constituents.

I am always open to discuss new frontiers, please do not hesitate to contact.
