Background
- Areas of expertise include quantum information, decoherence, thermalization, emergent spacetime, and quantum gravity. His research aims to elucidate how, and in what circumstances, thermalization, gravitational dynamics, and classical observables can be derived from the more fundamental underlying features of a quantum theory. Motivated by cosmology and quantum gravity, but primarily uses tools from quantum information. One research program focuses on understanding the entanglement structure of quantum states. Another research program is concerned with the physics seen by observers with only limited access to, or an imperfect ability to make measurements on, the quantum state.
