Hi, I am Joost Slingerland. I'm a theoretical physicist working on topological phenomena in condensed matter physics and on their application to topological quantum computation.

As of October 2006, I am employed as a postdoctoral researcher at UC Riverside, with Kirill Shtengel. I am also as a long term visitor in theoretical physics at the Institute for Quantum Information at Caltech.

Until October 2006, I worked at Station Q , Microsoft's research station dedicated to topological quantum computation, which was housed in the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UCSB and has now moved to the California Nanosystems Institute, next door to the KITP.

For some introductory material on topological quantum computing you can view my Topological Quantum Media Pages (these include a free poster). There was also a course on TQC and related subjects in Santa Barbara, and some of the course materials are available through the Q course page

Right now, I am not looking for a new job, since I just found one at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies! Starting this fall, I will be a Schrödinger Fellow there. Still, you are welcome to have a look at
