Bentsen Quantum Information Science Group
Exploring the dynamics of quantum information.
The Bentsen Quantum Information Science group at The College of William & Mary focuses on studying the dynamics of quantum information in many-body quantum systems.
Our research aims to harness these quantum systems for applications in information processing, precision sensing, and simulation of many-body dynamics.
Research Areas
Many-body quantum dynamics and quantum information scrambling.
Quantum information scrambling spreads local information across a quantum system in a complex pattern of entanglement. Our group studies how to understand and exploit that process for quantum advantage, sensing, and simulation.
Precision Sensing
Quantum systems can make extremely precise measurements of external magnetic, electric, or gravitational fields for timekeeping, navigation, and security tasks.
Many-Body Dynamics
Highly controllable cold-atom quantum devices provide tunable platforms for investigating quantum dynamics and quantum phases of matter.
Fault Tolerance
Quantum error-correcting codes and decoding algorithms protect fragile many-body quantum states against noise and decoherence.
Inside the Group
Harnessing quantum chaos for discovery and technology.
Group work combines analytics, numerics, and collaboration with experimental platforms.
