Indubala I. Satija is a Physics Professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. After graduating with a Masters in physics from Bombay University, she got her doctorate in theoretical physics at Columbia University. She has published numerous scientific articles on the diverse range of topics that include topological insulators, ultracold atoms, quantum phase transitions, solitons and classical and quantum chaos. In 2016, she wrote a book, Butterfly in the Quantum World with Douglas Hofstadter. Her current focus of research is topological states of matter.
A nice addition to the literature, discussing deep and fundamental issues which are pervasive in the entire field of physics and which usually cannot be discussed appropriately at the undergraduate or even graduate level. * Marco Sozzi, University of Pisa * Helpful to young undergraduates majoring in physics, graduate students as well as all those who want to learn more about quantum spin. * Radha Balakrishnan, The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai * Intriguing at so many levels. * Pradeep Kumar, University of Florida *
