People Profiles

Alexey V. Gorshkov

Alexey Gorshkov is a JQI fellow and theoretical physicist at NIST. He attended Harvard for his undergraduate and graduate degrees, obtaining a physics PhD in 2010 studying under Mikhail Lukin. After that he was a postdoctoral fellow at Caltech, working with John Preskill. He won numerous university teaching and research awards during these years. His research is at the intersection of AMO physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum information science. He has authored dozens of papers and has a patent entitled: “Scalable Room Temperature Quantum Information Processor.”
Aftaab Dewan

Aftaab Dewan, a graduate fellow at JQI, received undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics at Amherst College. There, he was a recipient of the Bassett Prize and the Stifler Prize, and conducted research on studying dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates. His senior thesis examined how neutrinos scatter off of materials such as lead or glass. He now works with Steve Rolston to understand the transport, coherence, and delocalization properties of BECs. Analyzing the interactions within and between regions of a BEC adds to the ultimate goal of building a quantum simulator.
Efim Rozenbaum

Efim Rozenbaum is a graduate fellow at JQI who studied physics as an undergraduate and graduate student at St. Petersburg State University. His undergraduate thesis focused on new numerical methods for solving the equations that govern quantum systems with axial symmetry, and his Master’s thesis continued this work for highly charged heavy ions. Now, he works with JQI and the Condensed Matter Theory Center to study the effect of interactions on dynamical localization, the signatures of chaotic transitions in quantum dynamics and non-Markovian soliton dynamics with non-Ohmic friction.
Phil Richerme

Phil Richerme is a postdoc in Chris Monroe's Trapped Ion Quantum Information Group. He studies quantum magnetism using a well-controlled and well-isolated system of atomic ion spins, realizing Feynman's original proposal for a quantum simulator. These experiments probe the ground state and dynamical evolution of interacting spin systems, which are difficult (or impossible) for classical computers to calculate for even a few dozen spins. Phil received his Ph.D. from Harvard in 2012, working with Gerald Gabrielse and the ATRAP collaboration at CERN to trap antihydrogen atoms for sensitive tests of CPT symmetry.
Paul Hess

Paul Hess is a postdoctoral fellow at JQI. He received his undergraduate degree in astrophysics at Williams College and went on to get his PhD in physics at Harvard University. There, he worked on precision measurement experiments that searched for the electric dipole moment of electrons bound to thorium oxide molecules. At JQI, as part of Chris Monroe’s trapped ion team, his work revolves around examining complex many body systems. He has studied many-body localization and is currently working on an experiment that would simulate quantum solids with an increased number of trapped ions.
Zachary Eldredge

Zachary Eldredge, a PhD student at JQI and QuICS, received undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics from the University of Oklahoma. At JQI, he has studied the emergence of a self-organized structure in atoms near a nanofiber, working closely with Luis Orozco’s to investigate nanofiber platforms and cold atom physics. Now, he works with Alexey Gorshkov and studies the physics of long-range quantum information and quantum networks.
