Research

I am interested in various areas of research, including geometric topology, quantum algebra, combinatorics, convex geometry, and quantum information theory and computation. A main theme of my work is to study "quantum", meaning non-commutative, generalizations of traditional mathematical objects. For example, quantum algorithms, which could run on quantum computers if they existed, exploit the computational power of non-commutative probability.
