teaching quantum physics
PHYS 3040: Modern Physics
This course provides a detailed introduction to quantum mechanics, including some applications to contemporary physics.
Information for 2026-2027 will be available on eClass.
teaching quantum fields
PHYS 5180: Quantum Fields Theory 1
Every particle and every wave in the Universe is simply an excitation of a quantum field that is defined over all space and time. This course provides an introduction.
Information for 2026-2027 will be available on eClass.
computing tetraquarks
Protons and neutrons are not the only particles that are made of quarks. Our research team at York University is combining theory and computation to explore whether a particular category of tetraquarks might exist.
computing with qubits
Would some quantum field theory calculations be done most naturally on a quantum computer? Options are being explored with collaborators at Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing and also with students and colleagues at York.
