Professional

Isaac Chuang is Senior Associate Dean of Digital Learning, and Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, and Professor of Physics, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is associate director of the MIT Office of Digital Learning, and leads the quanta research group at the Center for Ultracold Atoms, in the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics. This group seeks to understand and create information technology and intelligence from the fundamental building blocks of physical systems, atoms and molecules.

Our research interests include:

  • The Physics of Information and Computation
  • Quantum information theory, cryptography, and algorithms
  • Ultracold trapped ions and molecules

I am a co-author of a textbook on Quantum Computation and Quantum Information.
