Subir Sachdev

Subir Sachdev is <a href="/facts/Herchel_Smith/76M8A4rT">Herchel Smith</a> <a href="/facts/Professor/JNqot4sU">Professor</a> of physics at <a href="/facts/Harvard_University/Lhy9L1cx">Harvard University</a> specializing in <a href="/facts/Condensed_matter/EBVI5nmL">condensed matter</a>. He was elected to the U.S. National
Academy of Sciences in 2014, received the <a href="/facts/Lars_Onsager_Prize/yGRRLtYB">Lars Onsager Prize</a> from the <a href="/facts/American_Physical_Society/DCkkU6dD">American Physical Society</a> and the <a href="/facts/Dirac_Medal_(ICTP)/B4IyJcUf">Dirac Medal</a> from the <a href="/facts/ICTP/Tykv9XUP">ICTP</a> in 2018, and was elected Foreign Member of the <a href="/facts/Royal_Society/KI5yXCuV">Royal Society</a> ForMemRS in 2023.
He was a co-editor of the <a href="/facts/Annual_Review_of_Condensed_Matter_Physics/f7lLrvXC">Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics</a> 2017–2019, and is Editor-in-Chief of <a href="/facts/Reports_on_Progress_in_Physics/dEpu5erp">Reports on Progress in Physics</a> 2022-.
Sachdev's research describes the consequences of <a href="/facts/Quantum_entanglement/afzslwN0">quantum entanglement</a> on the macroscopic properties of natural systems. He has made extensive contributions to the description of the diverse varieties of entangled states of quantum matter, and of their behavior near <a href="/facts/Quantum_phase_transitions/XP5W2kYs">quantum phase transitions</a>. Many of these contributions have been linked to experiments, especially to the rich phase diagrams of the <a href="/facts/High_temperature_superconductors/MXtx2gvV">high temperature superconductors</a>. Sachdev's research has exposed remarkable connections between the nature of quantum entanglement in certain laboratory materials, and the quantum entanglement in astrophysical <a href="/facts/Black_holes/1r2lmkcF">black holes</a>, and these connections have led to new insights on the entropy and radiation of black holes.
