Biography

Lev Ginzton leads the Lev Lab at Stanford University, focusing on experimental research in the fields of atomic, molecular, and optical physics and condensed matter physics. The lab explores novel states and phases of quantum matter that emerge far from equilibrium. Utilizing advanced techniques such as confocal cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED), the team investigates how new forms of highly excited quantum matter can be engineered using cavity photons and interacting atomic gases. Key projects include the development of spin glasses and their relation to quantum neural networks, as well as efforts to manipulate critical temperatures of correlated phases within quantum materials. The Lev Lab welcomes innovative graduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in exploring out-of-equilibrium quantum systems.
