My research was on critical lattice models and conformal field theories.

Postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Station Q, focussing on quantum error correction and fault tolerant quantum computing.

My current interests are exploring the connection between quantum error correction and the topics of my PhD. In particular, error correction can be mapped to a disordered statistical mechanics problem, with the threshold of the error correcting code being described by a conformal field theory.

I hope that further exploration of this mapping can provide both qualitative insights into error correction and quantitative predictions about specific codes.
