Simon Caron-Huot

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simon Caron-Huot (* 1984 ) is a Canadian theoretical physicist.

Since 2016 he has been an Assistant Professor at McGill University , where he received his PhD in 2009. From 2009 to 2014 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . He was also visiting scholar in Copenhagen and at the Perimeter Institute .

Caron-Huot deals with scattering amplitudes in quantum chromodynamics and N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory as well as the quark-gluon plasma in heavy ion collisions.

In 2017 he received the Gribov Medal for his groundbreaking contributions to the understanding of the analytical structure of scattering amplitudes and their connection with Wilson loops . According to Caron-Huot, the discovered symmetries open up the possibility that the N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is the first nontrivial quantum field theory in four dimensions that can be exactly solved. He showed that in this theory bound states can be exactly solved due to hidden conformal symmetries similar to the quantum mechanical Kepler problem (with the Runge-Lenz vector as the conservation quantity), the hydrogen atom.

For 2020, Caron-Huot was awarded the New Horizons in Physics Prize .
