About

My research focuses on interactions between topology and computer science. I am most interested in interactions between 3-dimensional geometric topology, topological quantum field theories, and quantum computation. My motivations are to understand both quantum advantage (the kinds of things quantum computers can do better than non-quantum computers) and fault tolerance (i.e., grappling with the fact that building real world quantum computers will require t… ↓More
