Seth
Lloyd
Professor
of Mechanical
Engineering and Engineering
Systems
Dr.
Lloyd received a Ph.D. in Physics
from Rockefeller University, under
the supervision of Professor Heinz
Pagels.
Dr.
Lloyd was a postdoctoral fellow in
the High Energy Physics Department
at the California Institute of Technology,
where he worked with Professor Murray
Gell-Mann on applications of information
to quantum-mechanical systems. He
was a postdoctoral fellow at Los Alamos
National Laboratory, where he worked
at the Center for Nonlinear Systems
on quantum computation. Since 1988,
Dr. Lloyd has also been an adjunct
faculty member at the Santa Fe Institute.
Dr.
Lloyd is a principal investigator
at the Research Laboratory of Electronics.
He has performed seminal work in the
fields of quantum computation and
quantum communications, including
proposing the first technologically
feasible design for a quantum computer,
demonstrating the viability of quantum
analog computation, proving quantum
analogs of Shannon's noisy channel
theorem, and designing novel methods
for quantum error correction and noise
reduction.
Professor
Lloyd is a member of the American
Physical Society and the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers.
