Bryan Clark

Bryan Clark focuses on areas of computational condensed matter, quantum algorithms, and quantum circuits. He works on developing quantum algorithms for simulating quantum systems including automatically generating circuits to diagonalize Hamiltonians, developing ways of simulating condensed matter on NISQ machines, and improved quantum algorithms for Hubbard models. He also works on classical approaches to simulate quantum systems, as well as establishing the line between quantum advantages and classical simulatability.

Clark received a BS in physics and a BS in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University and his doctoral degree in physics from the University of Illinois, working under Professor David Ceperley. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara, CA, at Microsoft’s Station Q in Santa Barbara, and the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science at Princeton University.
