Benjamin Lev
Professor of Applied Physics and of Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsLevLab explores uncharted regimes of strongly correlated and topological matter by pushing the experimental state-of-the-art in ultracold atomic physics, quantum optics, and condensed matter physics. At a billionth of a degree above absolute zero, laser-cooled and trapped gases of neutral atoms are among the coldest objects in the universe. We employ quantum gases as versatile testbeds for exploring the organizing principles of novel quantum matter.

Kaden Loring
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2021
BioKaden Loring was born in Kansas and graduated high school in rural western Kansas. After high school, Mr. Loring accepted an athletic scholarship to St. Thomas University in Miami, FL where he ran cross country and track for two years. Between his second and third years of undergrad, Loring transferred to the University of Florida where he graduated in May 2020 with a B.S. in physics. Go Gators! Loring was awarded the 2022 U.S.-Netherlands Fulbright grant, 2020 NSF GRFP grant and, as an undergrad, the 2018 NOAA Hollings Scholarship.
He plans to specialize in experimental plasma physics during his time at Stanford with a concentration on the development of magnetic confinement fusion. Contributing to the realization of nuclear fusion energy is Mr. Loring's central motivating factor for pursuing his PhD in Applied Physics. Fusion energy is a key component to a carbon-neutral energy portfolio. Outside of academics, Loring enjoys competing in endurance competitions, hiking, other outdoors sports, and traveling.
