Benjamin Leonard Lev is an American physicist and Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Stanford University.[2][3][4][5] He studies quantum many-body physics, both in and out of equilibrium, by combining the tools of ultracold atomic physics, quantum optics, and condensed matter physics.

Biography

[edit]

Lev grew up in Crystal River, Florida, and attended Crystal River High School. He received his physics bachelor's degree magna cum laude from Princeton in 1999 and his physics Ph.D. from Caltech in 2005, working with Hideo Mabuchi. Lev was an NRC postdoc[6] at JILA with (2006-2007) Jun Ye and an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2008-2011). He joined the Stanford faculty in 2011, where he is now lllProfessor of lllPhysics[3] and Applied Physics[4] and runs a quantum many-body physics research lab.[7]

Work

[edit]

Lev's research focuses on exploring quantum many-body physics, especially in nonequilibrium settings. The contributions of his group include:

Awards and fellowships

[edit]

Lev has received several awards for his work, including a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from President Obama.[24][25] and a Packard Foundation Fellowship,[26] as well as National Science Foundation CAREER Award[27] and Air Force Office of Scientific Research, DARPA, and Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program awards.[28][29][30] Lev was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society[31] ``for groundbreaking experiments on quantum gases of lanthanide atoms with large magnetic dipole moments, theoretically proposing and experimentally demonstrating many-body multimode cavity QED for many-body physics and the demonstration of novel scanning quantum gas imaging of quantum materials." He serves on the editorial board of Physical Review X.[32]
