In 2009 Simon Caron-Huot graduated with a Ph.D. in physics from McGill University. His Ph.D. thesis was supervised by Guy David Moore.[2][3] Caron-Huot was from 2009 to 2014 a postdoctoral member of the Institute for Advanced Study. At the Niels Bohr Institute he held a postdoctoral position from 2012 to 2016. At McGill University, he was from 2016 to 2022 an assistant professor and is since 2022 an associate professor.[4] He has been a Visiting Fellow at the Perimeter Institute.[5][6]
Research
Caron-Huot does research on scattering amplitudes in quantum chromodynamics and N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, as well as the quark-gluon plasma in heavy ion collisions.[7] He, with colleagues such as Nima Arkani-Hamed, Freddy Cachazo, and Johannes Henn, have done research on symmetries that link gravity, the energy levels of the hydrogen atom, and the strong and weak interactions. Such mathematical symmetries open up the possibility that the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is the first nontrivial quantum field theory in four dimensions that can be solved exactly. Caron-Huot and colleagues showed that, in this type of Yang-Mills theory, bound states can be solved exactly due to hidden conformal symmetries, similar to the quantum mechanical Kepler problem (with the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector as a conserved quantity).[8]
