Mueller Quantum Simulation Group
We advance scientific exploration through quantum simulation, many-body physics, and quantum information — bridging nuclear and high-energy physics with quantum information science.
Welcome
Welcome to the Mueller Quantum Simulation Group. We advance scientific exploration through quantum simulation, many-body physics, and quantum information. Our group bridges nuclear and high-energy physics with quantum information science, combining collaborations with universities, national labs, and industry to co-design quantum hardware and algorithms while tackling fundamental physics questions.

We work with state-of-the-art quantum hardware to push the frontiers of technology through algorithm design, quantum simulation, and device benchmarking. Our primary focus lies in non-equilibrium phenomena, random-measurement protocols, and entanglement tomography, with applications spanning high-energy and nuclear physics, as well as connections to atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics and condensed matter physics.
