Quantum Theory and Computation

In the Quantum Institute, we develop and use methods based on quantum mechanics and open-source software to understand and predict the properties of solids & molecules at the microscopic scale, and to investigate quantum-entangled states and driven-dissipative quantum phenomena occurring in engineered quantum systems. We also focus on quantum control and quantum error correction to protect quantum information from decoherence for various physical platforms, with potential applications for quantum sensing, quantum transduction, quantum communication, and quantum computation.
