Work

I am currently Quantum Error Correction Manager at Atom Computing.

I spend much of my time thinking about quantum error correction, fault-tolerance, and architecture of quantum computers based on neutral atoms. I also enjoy thinking about compilation of quantum gates, circuits, and algorithms, resource estimation, simulation, and neutral atom physics. In all of my work, I enjoy switching back and forth between pencil-and-paper math and writing software.

Academic

In grad school (UW-Madison Physics, Advisor: Robert Joynt) I worked on several projects related to quantum computation and information. Topics included classical simulation of quantum noise, the geometry of entangled states, and error correction using neutral atoms without measurement.

Following grad school I did a postdoc (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Advisor: Anthony Leggett) where I worked closer to condensed matter physics. I wrote an exact self-consistent solver for $T_c$ in the BEC/BCS crossover regime, applicable to small “granules” of material. Ensembles of many such granules of varying size demonstrate higher $T_c$ than macroscopic samples of the same material.
