Thomas Iadecola

Thomas Iadecola is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Iowa State University and a Scientist at Ames Laboratory. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Boston University (2017) and a Sc.B. in Mathematics-Physics from Brown University (2012). His research focuses on quantum condensed matter systems, particularly out-of-equilibrium dynamics and topological phases, with applications to quantum technologies. His work explores highly excited many-body states, topological states beyond spontaneous symmetry breaking, and their realization in electronic/photonic systems. Recent articles emphasize quantum simulation, Floquet systems, and entanglement dynamics.

Research interests include quantum many-body scars, Floquet engineering, and non-equilibrium phenomena. He collaborates on projects such as variational quantum algorithms and lattice gauge theory simulations. No awards or grants are explicitly listed, though his work is supported by institutions like the Simons Foundation. He is affiliated with Ames National Laboratory, contributing to interdisciplinary quantum research.
