Andrea Coladangelo
I am broadly interested in quantum computation. Recently, I have been most excited
about understanding the interplay between quantum computation and cryptography. Previously, I have studied foundational questions about entanglement and quantum correlations, inspired by the question of certifying quantum devices.
I joined the University of Washington in January 2023, where I am part of the Theory and Crypto groups at the Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering.
Short Bio: Before UW, I was a postdoc at UC Berkeley and the Simons Institute, working with Umesh Vazirani. Before that, I obtained my PhD at Caltech, where I was fortunate to be advised by Thomas Vidick. In a previous life, I received a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Oxford and a Master in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge.
I am a co-founder of qBraid, a cloud-based platform for learning quantum computing
and developing quantum algorithms.
