Goal

My goal is to enable quantum simulation of nature using error-corrected quantum computers made of qubits, fermions, and bosons.

For the key ideas, watch this Qiskit Seminar Series episode I was invited to by the wonderful Zlatko Minev!

I grew up in a superposition of England and France, and enjoy adventures, whatever the nature.

[Jan. 2025] The New Scientist wrote a great summary of our first observation of a finite-energy phase transition in one dimension.
[Jan. 2025] Our paper on the first observation of a finite-energy phase transition in 1D has appeared in Nature Physics. A big thanks to Alexander Schuckert, Or Katz and Chris Monroe!
[Jan. 2024] Creation of the Giggly Bit! You laugh, it laughs, it makes you laugh, it laughs, everyone laughs.
[Dec. 2024] Completed the Adaptive Leadership course at the Harvard Kennedy School.
[Nov. 2024] Our preprint on fermion-qubit error correction has appeared on the arXiv. Exponential advantage from O(N) to O(log N) for the quantum simulation of crystalline molecules or materials! Incredible work, Alexander Schuckert, and Michael Gullans.
[Sept. 2024] Our preprint on qubit-oscillator quantum simulation has appeared on the arXiv. Hurray! Here we propose a very promising approach to simulating fermion-boson models using native qubit-boson hardware, with the example of high-energy physics models. Thank you Nathan Wiebe and Steve Girvin. Years of hard work!
[Aug. 2024] Our preprint on qubit-oscillator quantum architecture has appeared on the arXiv.
