Soonwon Choi

Soonwon Choi is the Victor F. Weisskopf Assistant Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research interests are focused on the intersection of quantum information science and out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems. Choi's work explores dynamical phenomena in strongly interacting quantum many-body systems far from equilibrium and designs novel applications for quantum information science. He is affiliated with the MIT Center for Theoretical Physics -- a Leinweber Institute (CTP-LI).

Soonwon Choi is a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, focusing on quantum simulation, quantum many-body systems, and quantum information processing. Their work explores quantum phases of matter, time-crystalline order, and entanglement in many-body systems using programmable quantum simulators. Choi's research also investigates quantum algorithms, such as the quantum approximate optimization algorithm, and their implementation on near-term quantum devices. Additionally, they study quantum error correction, measurement-induced phase transitions, and quantum Kibble–Zurek mechanisms. Their research spans quantum optics, nuclear magnetic resonance, and quantum sensing, with applications in quantum computing and materials science.
