Research

I'm interested in a range of topics within quantum information theory, many-body dynamics, and quantum computation. Particular research interests include (see references below):

Much of my research is motivated by the development of new experimental platforms where quantum many-body dynamics can be controlled in various ways, such as NISQ devices like superconducting quantum computers, and arrays of Rydberg atoms in optical tweezers. Understanding the power that these devices have to simulate systems of interest and process information is a key goal of mine.
