Background

Ivar Martin is a condensed matter theorist in the Material Science Division. His interests include equilibrium properties of materials, including superconductivity and magnetism, as well as nonequilibrium. Recently he has been particularly interested in the ways to create new quantum states by means of strong periodic and quasiperiodic driving.

His other interests include microscopic theory of quantum decoherence and quantum measurement, ways to implement unusual correlated states in quantum hardware, and classical nonlinear phenomena of phase and mode locking.

Martin got his undergraduate degree from the Moscow State University, and PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  In 1999 he went to Los Alamos National Lab, first as a postdoc and then as a staff member. He came to Argonne in 2013.
