In Episode 24, Patrick and Ciprian speak with Dr. Steve Girvin of Yale University. The team discuss Quantum error correction, entanglement, superposition, and material science.

After graduating in a high school class of 5 students in the small village of Brant Lake, NY and completing his undergraduate degree in physics from Bates College, Dr. Girvin earned his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Princeton University in 1977.

Dr. Steve Girvin joined the Yale faculty in 2001, where he is Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics and Professor of Applied Physics.\\xa0 From 2007 to 2017 he served as Yale\\u2019s Deputy Provost for Research, overseeing strategic planning for research across Yale.\\xa0 From 2019 to 2021, he served as founding director of the Co-Design Center for Quantum Advantage, one of five national quantum information science research centers funded by the Department of Energy.\\xa0

Along with his experimenter colleagues Michel Devoret and Robert Schoelkopf, Professor Girvin co-developed \\u2018circuit QED,\\u2019 the leading architecture for construction of quantum computers based on superconducting microwave circuits.\\xa0

Dr. Girvin is a Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and Member of the US National Academy of Sciences.\\xa0 In 2007, he and his collaborators, Allan H. MacDonald and James P. Eisenstein were awarded the Oliver E. Buckley Prize of the American Physical Society for their work on the fractional quantum Hall effect. \\xa0 In 2019, he and coauthor Kun Yang published the textbook \\u201cModern Condensed Matter Physics\\u201d with Cambridge University Press.
