Dr. Adrian Kantian

Biography

Adrian Kantian is a theoretical physicist focusing on the study of strongly correlated quantum matter. He obtained his PhD from the University of Innsbruck in 2010 and subsequently worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Thierry Giamarchi at the University of Geneva until 2015. During his tenure in Geneva, he participated in the MAQUIS collaboration, which aimed to develop massively parallelized density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) codes for use on parallel supercomputers. In 2017, he held an independent Fellowship at the Nordic Institute of Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) in Stockholm and was awarded a Starting Grant from the European Research Council. Currently, he is part of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala University as a guest researcher. His research primarily focuses on developing the basic theory necessary to engineer unconventional superconductors using low-dimensional systems. His work seeks to improve the understanding of the mechanisms behind superconductivity in unconventional materials, as well as explore unresolved phenomena in quasi-1D superconductors. Furthermore, he employs a variety of computational methods, including DMRG codes, Quantum Monte Carlo, and DMFT techniques, in his research on quantum many-body states, bilayer exciton condensates, and chiral quantum spin liquids.
