Ph.D. Crystal Noel

Ph.D. Crystal Noel is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University. Her research focuses on quantum computing and simulation with trapped ions, integrated photonics for scalable trapped ion systems, and electric-field noise from surfaces. She is affiliated with the Duke Quantum Center and teaches courses such as Quantum Engineering with Atoms and Projects in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Noel's work includes experimental studies on quantum first-passage time distributions, mid-circuit measurement and reset in trapped-ion systems, and surface ion trap dynamics. Her research has been published in journals such as Physical Review Research and Nature Physics.

Crystal Noel is a researcher at Duke University with a focus on quantum computing and quantum information science. Her work explores fault-tolerant control of qubits, quantum phases in trapped-ion systems, and the realization of quantum simulations. She investigates quantum error correction, mid-circuit measurements, and the effects of electric-field noise in surface ion traps. Her research also includes the development of quantum benchmarks and the study of quantum first-passage time distributions. Noel's contributions span both theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum computing, with an emphasis on improving the reliability and performance of quantum hardware.
