Milad Marvian

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico and also a member of the Center for Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC). Before joining UNM, I was a postdoctoral associate at MIT for two years, and before that I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering in 2018 at the University of Southern California. I am a recipient of NSF CAREER Award in 2023. Email: mmarvian at unm.edu Office: ECE 235D

Research interests: Quantum computing, Quantum error correction, Open quantum systems
