Dr . Xun Gao finished his PhD with Prof. Luming Duan at Tsinghua University in 2018. His research interests include quantum machine learning, application and computational power of near-term quantum computer and tensor network method.

Markus Greiner

greiner@physics.harvard.edu

Co-Director, Max Planck/Harvard Research Center for Quantum Optics

George Vasmer Leverett Professor of Physics

Markus Greiner's research is focused on experiments with ultracold atoms, in which strongly correlated many-body quantum systems can be experimentally realized in a well controlled way. This opens the door for studying fundamental questions of modern...
