Andrew Childs, a new member of the Institute's faculty, has joined this summer
Andrew Childs works on the theory of quantum information processing, with particular emphasis on algorithms for quantum computers. His interests include continuous-time information processing protocols, such as quantum walks on graphs; quantum algorithms for algebraic problems, such as the hidden subgroup problem; and quantum query complexity.
Before coming to the IQC, Andrew was a Lee A. DuBridge Postdoctoral Scholar at the Institute for Quantum Information at the California Institute of Technology. He received a Ph.D. in physics in 2004 as a Hertz Foundation Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a B.S. in physics in 2000 from the California Institute of Technology.
Andrew is joined by his wife, Sidney Chang, a software developer at EveryScape Inc.
