Jordan Cotler received a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2015 and a PhD in Physics from Stanford University in 2020. He is currently a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows and will transition to an Assistant Professor role in 2024. Cotler specializes in the fields of physics, particularly in quantum information, computation, and spacetime. He has invented numerous quantum algorithms that analyze the properties of natural systems and implemented them on contemporary quantum computers. Additionally, he has developed non-perturbative methods for studying the microstructure of black holes in accelerating cosmologies. His current research interests encompass the development of quantum algorithms to analyze quantum many-body systems and quantum gravitational systems, constructing an information-theoretic and complexity-theoretic framework for classical and quantum chaotic dynamics, and formulating non-perturbative approaches in quantum cosmology and quantum field theory.
