معرفی
Yannick Meurice is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Iowa. He joined the faculty in 1990 after postdoctoral research at CERN and Argonne National Laboratory, and a visiting professorship at CINVESTAV in Mexico City. His research focuses on lattice gauge theory, quantum computing, and quantum simulations. He is the Principal Investigator of a multi-institutional DOE HEP QuantISED grant and collaborates with the Fermilab theory group on B-meson decays. His work integrates tensor renormalization group methods, quantum field theory, and numerical simulations on high-performance clusters.
Education: PhD in Physics from Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) in 1985, supervised by Jacques Weyers and Gabriele Veneziano. His research spans
- Lattice field theory (QuLat Collaboration)
- Quantum computing applications in high-energy physics
- Quantum simulations of condensed matter systems
- Renormalization group techniques
Research highlights include
- Developing tensor network methods for real-time quantum field theory evolution
- Exploring quantum floating phases in Rydberg atom arrays
- Advancing quantum algorithms for entanglement entropy estimation
Grants and Funding: $2.3M federal award (2020) for quantum computing research in theoretical high-energy physics.
Student involvement includes weekly seminars, participation in Fermilab theory group projects, and opportunities to attend summer schools and conferences. Labs/Teams: Part of the QuLat collaboration and leads the DOE-funded QuantISED initiative.
