Welcome! I’m a first year master’s student at McGill University, working in the condensed matter theory group. I am supervised by Prof. Tami Pereg-Barnea.

I am broadly interested in topological systems, superconductivity, novel phases of magnetism, and critical phenomena. During my undergraduate degree, I was fortunate enough to work on a variety of research projects, which you can read more about in projects.

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
