Daniel Lidar

Daniel Lidar Daniel obtained his Ph.D. in theoretical Physics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in ‘97. He was a postdoc at UC Berkeley between ‘97-00, then an assistant and later associate professor of Chemistry at the University of Toronto between ‘00-’05. He moved to sunny Southern California in July ‘05 as an associate professor of Chemistry and Electrical Engineering, with a cross-appointment in Physics.

Daniel’s research interests lie primarily in the theory and control of open quantum systems, with a special emphasis on quantum information processing. His past interests include scattering theory and disordered systems.

Daniel is the Director and co-founding member of the USC Center for Quantum Information Science & Technology (CQIST). He is a recipient of a Sloan Research Fellowship and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
