Congratulations PJ! See press article here

Congratulations Adam!

Check out our first member-led work, “Unified Framework for Open Quantum Dynamics with Memory” by Felix, Lachlan, and Joonho, which was just out on arXiv! We showed how two prominent methods in non-Markovian Open Quantum Dynamics are fundamentally related through a novel diagrammatic approach. We also showed how this approach could have applications in quantum sensing and Hamiltonian learning. The group celebrated this milestone and the holiday season by having a party at Joonho's place--cheers for what's to come!

PJ graciously hosts the members for a Holiday Party celebrating the coming Christmas and New Year. What fun!

Joonho and the members enjoy a Thanksgiving lunch in company at Smoke Shop. Yum!

We are thrilled to share that Joonho had been named a Laureate of the 2023 Blavatnik Regional Awards for Young Scientists. Laureates are awarded $30,000 each and two Finalists in each disciplinary category are awarded $10,000 each in unrestricted funds. In 2023, there were 121 nominations from 28 academic institutions in the New York metropolitan region. Joonho was recognized for "development of state-of-the-art quantum chemistry algorithms for classical and quantum computers. Lee’s work aims to provide a microscopic understanding of emergent functional materials, including solar cells, electrocatalysts for the hydrogen economy, and optoelectronics." See the full article here.

We welcome postdocs PJ Robinson from Columbia University and Adam Rettig from UC Berkeley.

To commemorate the first month anniversary of the group, Joonho and the members spent a wonderful afternoon together in the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Get to know us and what we are up to.

---

Experienced postdocs Tong Jiang from Tsinghua University and Zeyu Zhou from the University of Pennsylvania are joining the group. Tong will apply his expertise on numerical methods for electron correlation problems, while Zeyu is working on understanding various approximations for polaron transport in solids. We are happy to have Tong and Zeyu onboard! Monitor their future works.

Reach out if you'd like to join, and keep an eye out for our upcoming works.

After a productive QSE rotation, Adrian decides to join the Lee Group! He will be thinking about the frontier of quantum advantage with the quantum-classical quantum Monte Carlo (QC-QMC) algorithm and other classical applications of Auxiliary Field Quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC). Welcome Adrian! Get posted on his future works.

We are extremely pleased to welcome Artur and Hieu! Artur is computing electron-phonon matrix elements from first principles, while Hieu is working on testing the boundaries of the celebrated variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) approach. Get updated on their future works.
