Jeongwan Haah

Jeongwan Haah serves as Associate Professor of Physics and by courtesy Associate Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University, based at 476 Lomita Mall, Stanford, CA 94305. His academic contact is jwhaah@stanford.edu with administrative support from Denise Jones (dejones@stanford.edu). He teaches graduate-level Quantum Error Correction (PHYSICS 430) across academic terms and supervises independent research through PHYSICS 490.

His research program bridges quantum information science and mathematical physics, specializing in topological phases of matter and fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures. Key investigations include classification frameworks for unitary dynamics using Clifford category theory and mathematical structures underlying quantum error correction codes. This work addresses fundamental challenges in quantum memory stability and computational robustness.

Recent publication trends demonstrate deep integration of algebraic topology with quantum information theory, particularly through the lens of Clifford algebra applications. His 2025 Communications in Mathematical Physics paper establishes classification schemes for topological phases that inform quantum hardware design principles, reflecting interdisciplinary connections between condensed matter physics and quantum computation.

Professor Haah actively mentors doctoral candidates through formal advising roles:

• Primary Dissertation Advisor for Jeffrey Kwan
• Doctoral Dissertation Co-Advisor for Keller Blackwell
• Orals Committee Evaluator for Cynthia Yan

His academic service includes committee participation for doctoral examinations and development of specialized graduate curriculum in quantum information theory, with no documented grant awards or laboratory affiliations in the provided materials.
