Research Interests
My research interests lie at the intersection of quantum computing, quantum information science, and computational physics. At Yale, I plan to focus on superconducting transmon architectures, while remaining broadly interested in how different quantum computing platforms, including neutral atoms, trapped ions, and superconducting circuits, can be compared, connected, and combined to take advantage of their distinct strengths. My prior work has centered on analog Rydberg atom systems and the use of quantum information tools to study neutral atom models. Going forward, I hope to broaden this foundation toward quantum algorithms, error correction, information theory, and the fundamental structure of quantum mechanics. More broadly, I am interested in using my interdisciplinary training in physics, computer science, and mathematics to approach quantum computing problems from multiple perspectives.
Biography
I have just completed my undergraduate studies in computer science, physics, and mathematics at the University of Iowa, where I worked with the Meurice research group on quantum computing and many body systems. My research has focused on analyzing probability distributions and entanglement in Rydberg atom arrays, with an emphasis on understanding device limitations using both simulation and experimental data. I have also developed computational tools to support this work, including a Python package for analyzing thermodynamic properties of quantum systems. At Yale, I plan to expand this work toward experimental quantum computing, with a focus on superconducting qubit architectures and their characterization and control.
On Receiving the Leigh Page Prize
I am honored to receive the Leigh Page Prize and grateful for the support it represents as I begin graduate study at Yale. This recognition is especially meaningful as I continue pursuing research in quantum information and many body physics, and I am excited to contribute to the Yale Physics community.
