Joaquín Drut

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joaquín Emiliano Drut (* 1978 in La Plata ) is an Argentine theoretical physicist who deals with quantum mechanical many-body theory in solid-state physics and nuclear physics.

Drut grew up in La Plata and studied physics from 2003 to 2008 at the University of Washington . As a post-doctoral student , he was in the theoretical nuclear physics group at Ohio State University and in the theory department of Los Alamos National Laboratory from 2010 to 2012 . In 2012 he became Assistant Professor and Melchor Fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill .

He developed quantum Monte Carlo simulation methods on the lattice for many-particle systems in solid-state physics, including for graphene (where they advocate an insulator as the ground state) and a transition from BCS superconductors to Bose-Einstein condensate in a fermion gas low temperatures, which they classified as a superfluid of a new kind.

In 2009 he received the Hermann Kümmel Award in many-body theory for the determination of the thermodynamic and pairing properties of a dilute interacting spin 1/2 Fermi gas (three dimensions) in the unitary regime using quantum Monte Carlo and field theoretical methods .
