Dr. Gregory Bentsen
Dr. Bentsen is a theoretical physicist working at the intersection of Quantum Information Science (QIS) and Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics. He obtained his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2019 working in the Schleier-Smith lab, where he helped to design, build, and operate a Cavity QED experiment engineered to rapidly entangle ensembles of Rubidium 87 atoms for applications in precision metrology and fundamental studies of quantum many-body physics.
During his postdoc in the Swingle group at Brandeis University, he focused on theoretical models of quantum information scrambling including studies of entanglement phase transitions in random quantum circuits. He is currently a faculty member in the Physics Department at The College of William & Mary, where his research group focuses on applying quantum many-body dynamics to information processing, quantum computing, and precision metrology applications.
