The Berezovsky research group in the Department of Physics at Case Western Reserve University focuses on exploring the quantum interactions that take place between spins and photons in solid state devices. We are currently studying these interactions using novel materials systems, new techniques, and tailored nanoscale electronic, magnetic, and photonic devices.

Additionally, the Berezovsky group uses methods from statistical physics to understand fundamental structures in music. Learn more (and listen!) here.
