معرفی
Wenchao Ge is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Rhode Island. Previously, he held faculty positions at Southern Illinois University (2020–2022) and was a postdoctoral researcher at institutions including Texas A&M University and the U.S. Army Research Lab. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from Texas A&M University (2015) and a B.S. in Applied Physics from Xi’an Jiaotong University (2009).
His research focuses on theoretical quantum optics and quantum information science, with emphasis on quantum sensing, quantum computing, and quantum communication. His group explores fundamental limits of quantum mechanics for information processing, including protocols for multi-parameter sensing, parametric amplification in trapped-ion systems, and quantum resource theories. He leads the Ge Quantum Theory Group, which collaborates with experimentalists to advance quantum technologies.
- Research interests: Quantum metrology, quantum computing, trapped-ion systems, and optomechanical systems.
- Notable achievements: Developed protocols for Heisenberg-limited quantum sensing and quantum-enhanced entangling gates. Published in Nature Physics, Phys. Rev. Lett., and Phys. Rev. A.
- Teaching: Courses on quantum entanglement and quantum information science.
He has received grants from NSF (ExpandQISE and quantum sensing programs) and the SIU Open Textbook Initiative. He was elected Secretary/Treasurer of the APS New England Section (2023) and actively participates in international conferences and quantum education initiatives.
His group advises graduate and undergraduate students on projects spanning theoretical and applied quantum physics, including summer internships and capstone research.
