Boris Vladimirovich Svistunov (Russian: Борис Владимирович Свистунов; born October 22, 1959) is a Russian-American physicist specialised in the condensed matter physics.
He is currently also an affiliated faculty member of Wilczek Quantum Center in[1] Shanghai at SJTU and is a participant of Simons collaboration on many electron systems.
With his collaborators and students he made important contributions to superfluid turbulence[3] (reviewed in[4]), theory of supersolids, in collaboration with Nikolay Prokof'ev including the theory of superfluidity of crystalline defects[5] (reviewed in[4]) and superglass phase.
[9][10] He is elected Fellow of the American Physical Society for his highly influential works in superfluidity and supersolidity.
The citation associated with of his Fellow election[12] in the American Physical Society,[13][14] for "pioneering contributions to the theory and practice of Monte Carlo simulations for strongly correlated quantum and classical systems, the invention of the worm algorithm and diagrammatic Monte Carlo techniques, and fundamental theoretical results on superfluid phenomena in quantum gases, liquids, and solids."
