Sergey Frolov is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pittsburgh. He received his B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2000 and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2005. He joined the University of Pittsburgh in 2012 as an assistant professor and is now a full professor. Frolov is an experimentalist in condensed matter physics whose research focuses on electrical properties of nanometer-scale objects, including quantum phenomena in nanoscale electronic devices at cryogenic temperatures built from semiconductors such as nanowires.
His work includes the study of non-Abelian anyons, particularly Majorana zero modes in semiconductor nanowires coupled to superconductors, as well as quantum bits and materials for quantum computing that combine semiconductors and superconductors. A key publication is the 2012 paper “Signatures of Majorana Fermions in Hybrid Superconductor-Semiconductor Nanowire Devices” in Science. Frolov received an NSF CAREER Award supporting research on new types of quantum particle statistics. His professional email address is frolovsm@pitt.edu.
A University of Pittsburgh-led study in Science reveals that hyped 'smoking gun' signals for topological quantum computing arise from trivial effects, urging better data sharing amid replication crisis.
