Kavan Modi Group
Kavan’s research focuses on quantum stochastic processes and their properties. In particular, his group focuses on three major research pillars: characterising and controlling noise in quantum computers working up to quantum error correction, modelling the dynamics of natural complex systems such as biomolecules and condensed matter systems, and understanding the structures of quantum chaos. This naturally encompasses many body physics, open dynamics, quantum information theory, and quantum and classical algorithms. He also dabbles in quantum algorithms for topological data, quantum machine learning, and quantum sensing.
