Jordan Cotler

Jordan Cotler is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Harvard University's Department of Physics. He received his BS in physics and mathematics from MIT in 2015 and his PhD in physics from Stanford in 2020. After serving as a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows, he joined Harvard as an Assistant Professor in 2024. His research focuses on quantum information, computation, and spacetime, including the development of quantum algorithms for analyzing natural systems and non-perturbative methods for studying black holes and cosmologies. His current work explores quantum algorithms for many-body and gravitational systems, as well as information-theoretic frameworks for chaotic dynamics.

Jordan Cotler is a physicist at Harvard University whose research focuses on the intersection of quantum information and high-energy physics. His work explores the connections between black holes, random matrix theory, and quantum chaos, with an emphasis on understanding quantum gravity through holographic principles. Cotler's research also addresses the computational complexity of quantum systems, including the implications of quantum advantage in learning from experiments and the role of entanglement in many-body systems. His publications frequently highlight the interplay between quantum information theory and gravitational physics, particularly in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence and de Sitter quantum gravity.
