The function of all living cells depends on the subcellular compartmentalization and spatial distribution of a broad range of small molecules, from metabolites to signaling molecules and cellular building blocks. Determining the spatial distribution of small molecules within cells is therefore crucial for understanding fundamental cellular mechanisms. And yet, we presently lack the ability to…

Realizing the promise of practical quantum information processing requires adept management of the intricacies of interfacing with quantum system, particularly in navigating the complexities of information extraction during system characterization, calibration, and correction. This endeavor demands a delicate balance: the resource consumption must be sufficiently low and yet swift enough for feedback and periodic recalibration.

Understanding entanglement propagation in out-of-equilibrium many-body quantum systems is important for both fundamental and practical reasons, especially given the new developments regarding the interrelationship between entanglement and thermodynamics in quantum systems. However, understanding the dynamics of entanglement requires access to the exponentially large Hilbert space of the system, which is highly challenging.

Efficient and accurate characterization of the time evolution of many-body systems controlled by external fields is of fundamental importance to many applications such as laser-driven chemical reactions and quantum computing. A full-dimensional description of such many-body dynamics is prohibitively expensive when large number of subsystems (e.g., spins in a spin-chain and atoms in a large…

Typically, when we want to perform a specific action on a quantum system, like implementing a gate, we go to the computer and ask it to create a control pulse. This works fine in practice, but typically the pulses are very complicated and it is hard to understand the underlying dynamics of what is going…
