Research Interests
Quantum information theory, quantum computing and their role in fundamental physics. I study the absolute limits that physics places on information processing, and how to exploit physical effects to accomplish otherwise impossible communication and computing tasks.
Some Papers
* Approximate quantum error
correction revisited: Introducing the alphabit
* Entanglement wedge
reconstruction via universal recovery channels
* Holographic duality from
random tensor networks
* Quantum computation vs.
firewalls
* Two-message quantum
interactive proofs and the quantum separability problem
* Summoning information in
spacetime, or where and when can a qubit be?
* Holographic mutual
information is monogamous
* From low-distortion norm
embeddings to explicit uncertainty relations and efficient information
locking
* Black holes as mirrors:
Quantum information in random subsystems
* Counterexamples to the
maximal p-norm multiplicativity conjecture for all p

Postdoctoral Fellowship
I
am currently recruiting a postdoctoral fellow in quantum information
science. Areas of interest include core quantum information subjects
such as algorithms and information, in addition to connections with
other branches of physics. Please apply!
