Faculty hosts

The following faculty are planning to host REU students in 2025. They are divided roughly into "theory" and "experiments", though we expect some projects to bridge the gap between the two.

Theory:

Andrea Coladangelo
(Computer Science)

quantum cryptography, demonstrations of quantum advantage

Jerry Li
(Computer Science)

quantum learning theory, algorithms

Chinmay Nirkhe
(Computer Science)

quantum complexity theory, hardness of approximation

Experiments:

Boris Blinov
(Physics)

trapped-ion quantum computing

Mo Chen
(Materials Science & Engineering)

solid-state quantum devices, superconducting circuits.

Kai-Mei Fu
(Electrical & Computer Engineering; Physics)

quantum defects in crystals, and their applications to quantum information

Arka Majumdar
(Electrical & Computer Engineering; Physics)

electronic, photonic, and integrated quantum systems

Sara Mouradian
(Electrical & Computer Engineering)

trapped-ion quantum computing, scalable quantum architectures

Maxwell Parsons
(Electrical & Computer Engineering)

neutral-atoms and atom-like defects for quantum information and sensing
