Quantum Matter and Quantum Information
Quantum condensed matter physics studies the collective behavior of interacting quantum objects (such as atoms, electrons, and photons) and the resultant new phases of matter. Quantum information science studies the design and manipulation of composite quantum systems to exploit their superposition and entanglement properties for information technology. Our research encompasses theoretical and experimental efforts addressing fundamental questions in the fields of quantum condensed matter and quantum information, and in particular at their interface. We have a broad range of interests and expertise including low dimensional materials, quantum fluids, topological phases, spin liquids, quantum Monte Carlo techniques, non-equilibrium quantum dynamics, superconducting qubits, trapped ion qubits, and quantum error correction.
