Mikhail Mamaev
I received my B.Sc. in mathematics & physics from McGill University in 2015. I stayed for two more years to complete an M.Sc. in physics. I moved to CU Boulder for a Ph.D. program in the fall of 2017, and work on theoretical AMO physics for Prof. Rey's group.
My interests include strongly interacting many-body systems, dissipative dynamics and entanglement generation. My current project combines several of these aspects by working on exchange dynamics of strontium in a 3D optical lattice. I investigate the effects of strong repulsive interactions in tandem with spin-orbit coupling and single-particle physics to realize useful, highly entangled states.

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
