Research Interests
I am interested in the intersection of quantum information and quantum many-body physics. In particular, my recent work focuses on how quantum information measures—such as entanglement, nonstabilizerness, and quantum complexity—can characterize collective phenomena in many-body systems. I am also broadly interested in algorithmic research, including Monte Carlo methods and quantum algorithms.
