My research is focused on using quantum information to find new ways of computing systems in quantum chemistry, computer science, and physics. The theory required in this area requires specialized knowledge between different fields in and out of physics, and we typically work on a range of them. Most of the time, we try to focus on problems that cannot be solved with purely mathematical solutions, although we are not incapable of doing the math. We just often find computational solutions or to set up something on the quantum computer. This allows us to be more accurate with our eventual conclusions. You may see a lot of proof-based mathematics in our papers since we sometimes come up with algorithms that cannot be directly implemented in the near-term. Fundamental and new discoveries that can influence modern life come directly out of this field, and that is always our goal.

About me:

I am a Canada Research Chair in Quantum Computing for Modelling of Molecules and Materials at the University of Victoria. I am jointly appointed in the Department of Physics & Astronomy and also the Department of Chemistry.

I am also a member of Quantum BC and the Centre for Advanced Materials and Related Technology. I am currently the principle investigator for the sensing and quantum materials cluster as sponsored by the office of the VPRI.
