David T. C. Allcock

David T. C. Allcock is an Assistant Professor of Physics in the Natural Sciences division of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Oregon, where he has held a faculty position since Fall 2018. His research program focuses on experimental quantum computing using trapped ion systems and hybrid quantum architectures.

Education:

• MPhys in Physics, University of Oxford, 2007
• D.Phil. in Physics, University of Oxford, 2012

Dr. Allcock's research centers on manipulating quantum states of atomic and molecular systems through precisely controlled electric and magnetic fields. His work specializes in ion trapping techniques and the development of hybrid quantum systems that integrate multiple quantum platforms to overcome individual limitations. This research sits at the intersection of quantum information science, atomic physics, and molecular physics, with direct applications toward building practical quantum computers.

Scientific Awards:

• Lindemann Fellowship (National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2013)
