Faculty Lunch: Michael Zalatel

Michael Zaletel joined the Department of Physics faculty in July 2018 and is the Thomas and Alison Schneider Chair. Zaletel’s research focuses on theoretical condensed matter physics and its intersection with quantum information and computational approaches. He aims to understand the behavior of electrons in ‘quantum’ materials where entanglement and the strong interactions between electrons conspire to form new phases of matter.
