Lincoln Carr
Professor, Department of Physics

Lincoln CarrProf. Carr’s theoretical research in quantum information science is focused on quantum complexity, open quantum systems, and quantum transport.  We work directly with real-world physical architectures in both quantum simulators and quantum computers, ranging from superconducting circuits to ultracold molecules in optical lattices to multimode optics.  Besides the university and national lab members of the Open Quantum Frontier Institute external collaborators include Durham University, Google Inc, Imperial College London, Sorbonne University, and many others.
