Jessica Eastman

Dr. Jessica Eastman serves as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Fundamental & Theoretical Physics at the Australian National University, where she conducts research within the Quantum Optics Group. Her work bridges theoretical quantum physics and practical quantum technology development, focusing on measurement-driven control of complex quantum systems.

Her research program centers on quantum chaos and measurement theory, investigating how adaptive observation strategies can stabilize inherently unstable quantum dynamics. This work has significant implications for quantum computing error correction and ultra-precise quantum sensing applications, where controlling decoherence remains a fundamental challenge.

Analysis of her publication record reveals consistent contributions to quantum control methodologies, with increasing emphasis on real-time feedback systems. Her 2019 Physical Review A paper established foundational principles for adaptive chaos suppression, while subsequent work expanded into semiclassical analysis of energy fluctuation amplification.

Dr. Eastman operates within ANU's vibrant quantum research ecosystem, collaborating closely with senior theorists in the Quantum Optics Group. Her position provides access to the group's computational resources, including the XMDS software package used for high-dimensional quantum simulations across 71 countries.
