Victor Galitski is a Russian-American physicist, a theorist working in the area of quantum physics.
After serving a mandatory military service, Galitski earned his PhD in applied math (under Prof. Dmitry Sokoloff from the Math Faculty in Moscow State University) and a 2nd PhD in quantum physics under Prof. Anatoly Larkin. Galitski was later a postdoctoral fellow at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. He has been on the faculty at the University of Maryland since 2005, where he is now a Chesapeake Chair Professor of Theoretical Physics. He is also a Fellow of the Joint Quantum Institute there, an honorary professor at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and a foreign partner of the Australian ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET).
Galitski has been awarded the NSF career award, Simons Investigator award, [1] the George Soros Fellowship, and the Future Fellowship from Australian Research Council. His notable researches include the 2010 prediction of topological Kondo insulators. [2] [3] [4] In 2006, he introduced a new kind of spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein Condensate. [5] [6] In 2007, together with University of Maryland coworkers including Sankar Das Sarma, Galitski resolved the minimal conductivity puzzle in graphene physics. [7] Together with Gil Refael, Galitski co-introduced Floquet topological insulators. [8] [9]
In July 2021, Galitski published a viral essay on linkedin, entitled "Quantum Computing Hype is Bad for Science," [10] cautioning about unsupported, inflated claims in the quantum computing industry and the dangerous possibility of "quantum Ponzi schemes."
Victor Galitski was born in Moscow, Russia in a family of Jewish, German, and Russian ancestry. His grandfather Victor Galitskii ( Галицкий,_Виктор_Михайлович ) was a renowned physicist, [11] [12] who worked with Lev Landau, [13] and Arkady Migdal, and was director of the theoretical physics department in the Kurchatov Institute.
