Quantum computers store information in quantum states, such as electron spins. They exploit effects like superposition, where a state is partly 0 and partly 1, and entanglement, a quantum correlation between particles.

What they work on
- Determine how symmetry-protected topological order, a collective entanglement found in frustrated quantum spin systems, serves as a resource for quantum computation within measurement-based quantum computation.
- Investigate how mid-circuit measurements and adaptation based on their outcomes can empower computation on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices when quantum resources are limited.
- Analyze how contextual measurement observables and causal relations among measurements give rise to quantum computational advantage in computation and simulation of many-body systems.
More about the research
These effects could let them solve some problems far faster than ordinary computers. A central question is where that speed-up comes from. This project explores the interplay between entanglement and measurement, because entanglement's uniquely quantum features only show up when the system is measured.
Why it matters
This is basic research in quantum information science. It could clarify when and why quantum computers outperform classical ones, especially on today's noisy prototype machines. That understanding could inform how to use measurements and many-body entanglement in future quantum computing and in simulations of quantum materials.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.

Develop Brownian random quantum circuits, models whose random operations vary continuously in time, into a framework for precision randomized benchmarking that handles scrambling, decoherence, weak measurements, and faulty operations together.

Design and deploy superconducting quantum hardware in which each logical qubit is one microwave photon shared between two long-lived resonators. This 'dual-rail' encoding turns photon loss into a detectable, flagged erasure error.

Develop quantum simulation algorithms that encode spatial and temporal dependencies of stochastic transportation networks into quantum states, using quantum amplitude estimation and dimensionality reduction to improve efficiency.
