Biography

Dr Curt von Keyserlingk is a Reader in theoretical physics, based in Theory & Simulation of Condensed Matter Group in the Department of Physics, King's College London.  

Previously he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science, and a DPhil student at the University of Oxford under Professor Steve Simon. Prior to that he completed an MMath at the University of Cambridge.  

Research

Dr von Keyserlingk studies interacting quantum systems, from electrons in metals to qubits in quantum computers. These systems can exhibit exotic and robust phenomena like superconductivity, topological order, localisation, and time crystallinity.

He develops analytical and numerical tools to understand phenomena like these, with a view to their practical use, for example in quantum computers.
