Soley Research Group
Unraveling chemistry and computing deep in the quantum regime
Unraveling chemistry and computing deep in the quantum regime
The Soley Group develops new frameworks for quantum simulation and quantum computing algorithms based on tensor networks and examines their reciprocal implications for improved classical tensor-network algorithmic design. These frameworks harness modern techniques from fields ranging from chemistry and physics to data science and applied mathematics.
The Soley Group identifies hidden connections between optics and quantum mechanics to yield tools to control ultracold chemical reactions and theoretically reveal fundamental quantum behaviors in cold atomic and molecular experiments, including the existence of long-sought-after bound states in the continuum and PT-symmetry behaviors in fundamental Schrödinger quantum mechanics.
