Research

Research in my group is focused on understanding the role of entanglement in quantum computation and in interacting quantum many-body systems. We are developing the theory of quantum tensor networks, devise novel computational methods for optimizing them, and apply those to problems in condensed matter physics, quantum field theory, atomic physics, statistical physics and quantum computing.
