Sean Hartnoll

Sean Hartnoll is a theoretical physicist known for his research in condensed matter physics and quantum materials. He investigates how complex quantum systems behave, particularly focusing on phenomena like high-temperature superconductivity and the mysterious "strange metal" states. His work often explores how ideas from string theory and holography can provide new insights into these challenging problems, bridging fundamental physics and material science. Hartnoll’s contributions deepen our understanding of exotic states of matter, potentially guiding the development of advanced technologies such as quantum computers and superconducting devices.
