Academic Achievements
- Has published numerous papers, which can be found on the electronic ArXiv and Google Scholar. A complete publication list is available on his personal website. Some recent talks include: Beyond NISQ: The megaquip machine (Q2B 2024), Bell Prize Award Session (CQIQC 2024), Our quantum future (US QIS Summer School 2024), etc.
Research Experience
- Founded the Institute for Quantum Information (IQI) in 2000 as part of the initiative in Information Technology Research launched by the National Science Foundation. In 2011, the IQI became a part of the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM), an NSF Physics Frontiers Center.
Background
- A theoretical physicist, his research interests include the connections between particle physics and cosmology, properties of topological defects, nonperturbative phenomena in quantum field theory, and quantum aspects of the early universe and black holes. Since the mid-1990s, his primary interest has been in the theory of quantum information, quantum computing, and quantum error correction.
Miscellany
- Teaches courses on quantum computation (Physics 219) and statistical physics (Physics 12c). Particularly interested in developing new schemes for protecting intricate quantum systems from decoherence and other sources of error.
