Biography

Sarang Gopalakrishnan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Princeton University. His research interests broadly encompass dynamics of quantum systems and devices, particularly focusing on the dynamics of quantum information. He investigates how information encoded in quantum states becomes scrambled and inaccessible over time. Understanding the mechanisms behind this scrambling in realistic physical systems and exploring ways to mitigate or harness it for useful tasks drives his research. His work primarily interfaces quantum statistical mechanics with quantum information theory, while also extending into the realms of computer science, including data compression and approximation theory. Throughout his research endeavors, he collaborates with experimentalists in fields such as photonics, atomic physics, and condensed matter physics.
