Welcome to the Quantum Dynamics for Quantum Materials Group!
Our research program deploys theoretical approaches to advance the application of chemistry to quantum information science. Through method development and application, we identify and characterize molecular systems that are capable to carry out quantum information processing. We simulate the quantum dynamics of molecular spin qubits and their assemblies with application in quantum sensing and communication to enable the design of the next-generation quantum-coherent systems. We complement our efforts in understanding the fascinating spin-coherent properties of molecular systems with developing new theoretical methods to describe open and closed quantum systems at finite temperature. Our theoretical methods have a broad applicability beyond quantum information science and we apply them to study energy conversion and light-matter interactions in complex chemical systems.
Join our team
We are looking for talented and motivated individuals to join our research team. We have open positions for:
- Postdoctoral scholars in many-body molecular qubit spin dynamics.
- PhD positions to join IU Chemistry.
If you are passionate about Chemistry, Physics, and Math, we look forward to hearing from you!
