Jan Zaanen

Jan Zaanen

Jan Zaanen is Professor of Theoretical Physics at Leiden University, The Netherlands. He is best known for his contributions to the understanding of the quantum physics of the electrons in strongly correlated material, and in particular High temperature superconductivity. He introduced the Zaanen-Sawatzky-Allen diagram, the LDA+U band structure method and he became particular well known for his discovery of the stripe instability of the doped Mott insulator. His present research is focussed on the Quantum Critical Point and unconventional phases of quantum matter. He is also well known for his many editorial contributions to Nature (journal) and Science (journal). He is at present on the board of reviewing editors of the latter journal.

In 2004-2005 he spent a year at Stanford University sponsored by the Fulbright Program and in 2006 he received the Spinozapremie, the "Dutch Nobel prize", for his scientific accomplishments.
