Alexander Maloney is a James McGill Professor in the Department of Physics at McGill University, focusing on fundamental questions in theoretical physics. His research interests span various areas, including the study of black holes and their properties, such as entropy, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics. He explores the quantization of geometry and the implications of AdS/CFT correspondence, solvable models of quantum gravity, and the emergence of semi-classical space-time. Additionally, he investigates applications of gauge/gravity duality to strongly coupled systems. Maloney's work in quantum information theory examines how relationships between quantum information and fundamental issues in field theory and quantum gravity can offer new insights. His studies on conformal field theory focus on the dynamics of strongly coupled CFTs, the conformal bootstrap, and phenomena like quantum chaos. He is also engaged in the field of quantum cosmology, researching resolutions to cosmological singularities and the dynamics of the universe's wave function.
