Steven Girvin

In this episode, I chat with eminent physicist Steven M. Girvin from Yale University. He is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics, whose main research areas are in quantum physics and condensed matter physics. He is a pioneer in the field of superconducting circuits, quantum error correction using bosonic modes, and circuit QED. Ranging from his thoughts on the qualities of a physicist to his work and 'quantum hype', this conversation will give you an insight into his thought process and philosophy.
