Alexey Gorshkov
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.
Nicole Yunger Halpern
Nicole will be a NIST physicist, JQI affiliate, QuICS Fellow, and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Physics and IPST, beginning in fall 2021. She re-envisions 19th-century thermodynamics for the 21st century, using the mathematical toolkit of quantum information (QI) theory. She then applies QI thermodynamics as a lens through which to view the rest of science, gaining new perspectives on atomic, molecular, and optical physics; condensed matter; chemistry; high-energy physics; and biophysics.
