Arnold J. Dahm

Dr. Arnold J. Dahm is pursuing novel approaches in the field of condensed matter physics as an Emeritus Professor at Case Western Reserve University. With a keen interest in two-dimensional systems, his research primarily revolves around the intriguing behavior of electron layers on the surface of liquid helium. His work has significantly contributed to the understanding of melting transitions, weak localization, and the dynamics of edge magnetoplasmons. Throughout his illustrious career, Dr. Dahm has delved into the complexities of pinning electron crystals above helium films, providing valuable insights into the fundamental properties of these systems. His innovative research extends to the realm of quantum computing, where he is actively collaborating on a groundbreaking project aimed at fabricating a quantum computer using electrons on liquid helium. This endeavor holds the potential to revolutionize computational technology by harnessing the unique properties of quantum states. Beyond his contributions to theoretical and experimental physics, Dr. Dahm is also engaged in setting up a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiment. This experiment is designed to explore the anisotropy of diffusion of 3He atoms within hexagonal close-packed (hcp) crystals of 4He, offering a deeper understanding of atomic interactions and diffusion processes in these fascinating systems. Dr. Dahm's dedication to advancing the frontiers of physics is evident in his extensive body of work, which continues to inspire and influence the scientific community. His commitment to exploring the unknown and pushing the boundaries of knowledge makes him a respected figure in the field of condensed matter physics.
