Michael Gullans

Michael Gullans is the deputy director of the NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Robust Quantum Simulation and an adjunct assistant professor of physics with an adjunct appointment in the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies. He is also a physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Gullans’s research focuses on the theoretical study of quantum information systems and quantum simulators, particularly in nonperturbative and strongly-interacting regimes. His work includes investigating error correction, fault-tolerance, and scalable tomography of quantum devices, with the goal of developing quantum simulators into reliable tools for studying many-body quantum physics and complex systems.
