Iman Marvian

Iman Marvian is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University. He is also affiliated with the Department of Physics and the Duke Quantum Center. His research focuses on quantum information and computation theory, including topics such as quantum algorithms, quantum circuits, and quantum resource theories. Marvian received his Ph.D. in Physics in 2012 from the University of Waterloo and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Prior to joining Duke, he served as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Southern California and MIT. His work has been recognized through various grants and publications, including research on quantum error suppression and quantum thermodynamics.

Iman Marvian is a researcher at Duke University specializing in quantum information, quantum computation, quantum thermodynamics, quantum many-body physics, and symmetries. His work explores foundational aspects of quantum mechanics, including the quantification of coherence, asymmetry, and quantum reference frames. He investigates quantum speed limits, coherence distillation, and the operational interpretation of quantum Fisher information. His research also addresses the thermodynamic implications of quantum coherence and asymmetry, as well as the limitations of realizable unitary operations under symmetry and locality constraints. Marvian's contributions span both theoretical and experimental approaches to quantum information science.
