Masters thesis on Majorana systems
The PhD builds on earlier work in quantum information and non-local correlations.
PhD research
My PhD work focuses on time-reversal-symmetry-breaking superconductors: materials where the superconducting state does more than simply conduct without resistance. It also breaks an important symmetry of the underlying equations, opening a path to rich microscopic structure and experimentally observable signatures.
What the work is about
The core task is to build microscopic theories that are physically motivated enough to say something real about experiment, rather than remaining abstract formal exercises.
That means:
- constructing models of unconventional superconducting order
- understanding how symmetry breaking appears in those models
- relating the theory back to measurable behaviour
Why it mattered beyond the thesis
Working at that level made a separate problem impossible to ignore. Scientific thinking is often split across too many tools, too many formats, and too much friction between writing, calculation, and collaboration.
That is a large part of why my research life expanded into software and systems-building. QuantaLumin, TutorLumin, and LuminOS all came from the same pressure: to make serious intellectual work more coherent.
