Dr. Evyatar Tulipman

Evyatar Tulipman researches strange metals (SM), a family of materials that have challenged our understanding of quantum matter since they were discovered nearly 40 years ago. These materials conduct electricity in a manner that defies the basic assumptions of conventional theory. Moreover, elucidating the mechanism behind SM behavior is believed to be key for understanding high temperature superconductivity (HTSC), which could have great potential for technological advancements.

Dr. Tulipman’s PhD in the Department of Condensed Matter Physics, Weizmann Institute of Science, developed controlled theoretical approaches beyond conventional paradigms that significantly improved our understanding of strange metal behavior. These include a novel criterion for strange metallicity and a new theory where strange metal behavior arises directly from remnants of the superconducting state, revealing a promising new connection between SM and HTSC.

For his postdoc in the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials at Stanford University, Dr. Tulipman addresses key questions about the nature of correlated quantum materials, particularly their superconducting properties and its connections to other puzzling behaviors, using innovative theoretical and numerical approaches. He focuses specifically on the relation between HTSC and the anomalous metallic properties that emerge when strange materials transition out of the superconducting state. He will hone and expand the theory he developed in his doctoral research, provide testable predictions for realistic systems, and explore its implications for other phenomena in HTSC.

He hopes his research will significantly advance our understanding of quantum matter.
