A recent article about my time-crystal research!
Time Crystal Research Enters a New Phase | Joint Quantum Institute
JQI researchers identified a set of promising ingredients for making time crystals. With those ingredients in mind, they developed a new theoretical framework that they hope will put time crystals res...

I think I trust the guy with 10 Grammy nominations and 5 number 1 Billboard hits on questions of rhythm. Nice to know La Flame is an OEIS user
love these OEIS flamewars.. might have to wait a few more years to see if there's any followup.

If you thought the Integer Quantum Hall Effect was fully understood, think again! We show how temperature and disorder destroy IQHE without affecting the topologically-protected plateau height

Integer Quantum Hall Effect: Disorder, temperature, floating, and plateau width
We theoretically consider disorder and temperature effects on the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) using a variety of distinct and complementary analytical and numerical techniques. In particular, w...

Published my first Physical Review Letter today on the first construction of a robust time crystal in a classical, dissipative system! ⏰💎 #timecrystals
Theory for Dissipative Time Crystals in Coupled Parametric Oscillators
Discrete time crystals are novel phases of matter that break the discrete time translational symmetry of a periodically driven system. In this Letter, we propose a classical system of weakly nonlinear...

Since temperature is a measure of energy per information, we can say that water freezes at approximately 5 dietary calories per yottabyte.
