معرفی
Professor Machiel Blok is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester. He holds a BS (2010), MS, and PhD (2015) in Applied Physics from Delft University of Technology, where he conducted research at QuTech. After postdoctoral work at UC Berkeley (2015–2018) and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (2019), he joined the University of Rochester in 2020.
His research focuses on quantum information science, condensed matter physics, and atomic, molecular, and optical physics. The Blok Lab develops superconducting circuits and Josephson junctions to encode quantum information in non-linear oscillators, advancing quantum simulation, sensing, and high-energy physics interfaces. Key innovations include high-impedance resonators, multi-level transmon qudits, and continuous quantum error correction techniques.
His publications highlight breakthroughs in qutrit processors, quantum thermodynamics, and loophole-free Bell tests. Ongoing work emphasizes scalable quantum architectures and robust error mitigation strategies. The lab actively explores applications in quantum networks and solid-state spin systems.
