Alexey Gorshkov is an adjunct professor in the Department of Physics and UMIACS. He is also a physicist in the Quantum Measurement Division of NIST and a Fellow in the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS) and the Joint Quantum Institute.
Gorshkov leads a theoretical research group working at the interface of quantum information science, quantum optics, atomic and molecular physics, and condensed matter physics. The long-term goals of the group are to understand and control large interacting quantum systems, as well as to design and create new ones.
He received his doctorate in physics from Harvard University in 2010.
