Jonathan Baugh is working toward the physical realization of solid-state quantum information processors, using the property of spin to encode and manipulate quantum information. His work has focused on solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance, and more recently on quantum transport and development of qubits in semiconductor nanostructures.

Jonathan Baugh teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses. Course offerings have included Linear Algebra, Thermodynamics, Spin-based QIP, Introduction to Quantum Information and Quantum Control and Mathematical Methods for Chemistry.
