PhD Candidate in Physics at the City University of New York. My research focuses on quantum information theory — scalable quantum algorithms, error correction, and what quantum technology means for cryptography and information security.

About Me

Hi, I’m Matt — welcome! This site is where I keep my work, notes, and the small set of resources I find genuinely useful day to day. Have a look around, and please feel free to email me if anything here sparks a question or a collaboration idea. You can also find my articles on Google Scholar.

Quantum Computing

My research sits at the intersection of scalable quantum algorithms, error correction, and the practical implications of quantum technologies for cryptography and information security. I am just as interested in the day-to-day engineering challenges of building useful quantum systems as I am in the deeper theoretical questions about what quantum information tells us about physics. The Quantum Radar page collects the hand-picked opportunities, news, and people I keep an eye on — it might be a useful starting point if you are exploring the field too. If you are new to the area, the short Quantum 101 glossary may help.

The Rest

Outside of quantum computing I work across physics, data science, and education. I have contributed to several research projects, published a handful of papers, and have a long-running teaching record. I also tutor students looking for help with these subjects — if any of that overlaps with what you are working on, I would love to hear from you. For a short rolling note on what I am focused on right now, see /now.
