Chris Anderson

Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering

BioI am currently an IC postdoctoral fellow at the Nanoscale and Quantum Photonics Lab led by Jelena Vučković at Stanford University. I recently finished my PhD in Physics in the research group of David Awschalom at the University of Chicago in the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering. Generally, I'm interested in developing the physics and devices that will enable the next generation of quantum information technologies. Specifically, I work on creating photonic, mechanical and electrical devices combined with single optically active spin qubits in semiconductors. These engineered systems can be used in scalable quantum repeaters, long-distance entanglement distribution and in modular quantum computing. I am a former NDSEG fellow, and my previous research ranges from cellular biology and physical chemistry to attosecond pulsed lasers. My other passions include mentorship, and increasing diversity, equity and inclusion in quantum science.
