Nat Tantivasadakarn

Nat Tantivasadakarn is a Sherman Fairchild Postdoctoral Scholar and Research Associate in Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), affiliated with the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy. His research focuses on topological phases of matter, quantum computing architectures, and non-Abelian anyon systems. He explores theoretical frameworks to engineer topological order through gauging procedures, symmetry-enriched phases, and measurement-based protocols.

Research areas include non-invertible symmetries, fracton models, and fault-tolerant quantum computation leveraging topological codes. He investigates protocols for creating anyons in trapped ion systems and developing scalable quantum error correction strategies. His work bridges abstract algebraic structures (e.g., cohomology invariants) with experimental realizations in quantum hardware.

Key contributions involve constructing tensor networks for higher-dimensional topological phases and analyzing Nishimori transitions in quantum circuits. His research also addresses the interplay between measurement-driven dynamics and long-range entanglement, particularly in symmetry-protected topological systems. Tantivasadakarn collaborates with institutions like the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM) at Caltech.
