Alex is an expert in quantum computing and quantum simulation with neutral atoms. While at Harvard, he pioneered the development of programmable Rydberg atom arrays into a leading technology for quantum information processing. Among his accomplishments are the creation and coherent control of systems with hundreds of neutral atom qubits, the demonstration of high-fidelity entangling gates with neutral atoms, the discovery of quantum many-body scars, the observation of new quantum phases of matter as well as the critical dynamics associated to quantum phase transitions.
