Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Electron
  • Photon

C. W. J. Beenakker mainly focuses on Condensed matter physics, Quantum mechanics, Conductance, Superconductivity and Graphene. His Condensed matter physics research incorporates elements of Conductance quantum and Ballistic conduction, Electron, Fermi gas. His studies deal with areas such as Specular reflection and Magnetic field as well as Electron.

C. W. J. Beenakker has researched Superconductivity in several fields, including Phase and Topology.
