Jonathan Baugh is working toward the physical realization of quantum information processors in solid-state systems, using the property of spin to encode and manipulate quantum information.
Past work has focused on solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance devices, and more recently on combined electron-nuclear spin systems and single electron spins in quantum dots.
Prior to joining IQC and the Department of Chemistry in 2007, he spent one year as a Visiting Researcher at the University of Tokyo. He was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow at IQC, and received a PhD in Physics in 2001 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Current projects and research expertise
- Solid-state electron and nuclear spin based implementations for quantum information processing
