Biography
Education: B.S., University of Puget Sound, 1998; Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley, 2003; Postdoctoral fellowship, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003-2006 Quantum information is an exciting field that employs quantum mechanical systems to solve problems in computation and communication. The Brown Group uses the experimental and theoretical techniques of quantum information to address challenges in physical chemistry. The basis of our experimental work is a collection of laser cooled ions trapped in a quadrupole ion trap. The theoretical work focuses on understanding the boundary between classical and quantum algorithms for calculating material properties.
