Claudio Chamon is a Professor of Physics at Boston University. He graduated from MIT with a BS in Aeronautics and Astronautics, an MS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and a PhD in Physics, specializing in theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. He was a postdoc at the Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Claudio was a Sloan Fellow, a Simons Fellow, and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Claudio’s research focuses on topological states of matter and their applications to topologically protected qubits for quantum information and quantum computation purposes; on equilibrium and non-equilibrium quantum many-body systems, in particular quantum glasses; and on statistical mechanics applications to quantum scramblers and classical ciphers.
