Nolan J. Coble

Computer Science PhD Student

About

I am a third year PhD student at the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS) at the University of Maryland, College Park. I graduated from SUNY Brockport in 2020 majoring in mathematics and physics.

My research interests are in quantum information and theoretical computer science. Recently, I have been interested in the use of error-correcting codes in Hamiltonian complexity and developing logical gates for high-rate quantum error-correcting codes.
