Academic Achievements
- Team members have won URA awards; published multiple papers, including a new paper in PRX.
Research Experience
- Leads the Quantum Thermodynamics group at UMBC. Research areas include foundations of quantum thermodynamics, optimal control of quantum and classical systems, quantum computing in the NISQ era, quantum speed limits, information dynamics and quantum chaos, and the emergence of classically objective reality.
Background
- Theoretical physicist with research interests in Statistical Physics, Open Quantum Dynamics, Quantum Information Theory, Quantum Optics, Quantum Field Theory, Condensed Matter Theory, and Optimal Control Theory. The focus is on the nonequilibrium properties of complex systems far from thermal equilibrium and information processing.
