Kenneth Segallat Colgate since 2003 Assistant Professor of Physics
|
Professor Segall studies the low temperature properties of superconducting circuits with interest in both basic physical phenomena and future technological applications. His central interests are the nonlinear and quantum mechanical properties of superconducting Josephson junctions, which are the basic elements in superconducting circuits, and can be used to study nonlinear behavior, such as rectification of noise and nonlinear localization, or macroscopic quantum phenomena, such as quantum tunneling and energy level quantization. There is also an exciting new technology which uses Josephson junctions to detect single photons of light.
Research Interests: superconducting electronics, Josephson junction and ratchet circuits
