 Research Interests

My main interests are in the intersection of quantum physics as a source of mind boggling questions and notions such as quantum entanglement, theoretical computer science as a philosophically deep framework that enables approaching and understanding physics phenomenon through the computational complexity lens, and mathematics as a powerful method and approach to attack all these questions and create deep connections between them. I am particularly interested in several deep questions. First, how does the transition from quantum to classical occur? Specifically I would like to understand how this transition is reflected in the change of computational power of quantum systems, especially as a function of the amount of noise and perturbations in the quantum system. I am also fascinated by the question of how we can quantify and understand multipartite entanglement, and put it to use in the design of new quantum algorithms to gain exponential quantum advantage. Mathematically, these questions often touch upon questions related to spectral analysis, group theory, combinatorics, linear algebra and sometimes topology. As a general rule, I am fascinated by any application of beautiful Mathemathics to the understanding of physics phenomenon, and in what the computational lens has to tell us about physics. |
