Scott Glancy (Fed)
Physicist
I am a physicist researching quantum information theory. My current research interests include:
- Statistical analysis of quantum experiments, such as quantum tomography, hypothesis tests of local realism, and secure randomness extraction
- Quantum optics theory, linear optics, Gaussian quantum states
- Optical quantum information processing
- Foundations of quantum mechanics
I have ongoing collaborations with the quantum optics group of Sae Woo Nam, NIST-Boulder's ion storage group, and the ultra-cold atom group of Trey Porto and William Phillips.
I work on the Joint Quantum State and Measurement Tomography software project at https://github.com/usnistgov/state_meas_tomo. This software performs simultaneous quantum state and measurement tomography, as described in " Joint Quantum State and Measurement Tomography with Incomplete Measurements" arXiv:1803.08245 [quant-ph].
I wrote a fun post for the NIST blog: "Local Realism, Bell's Inequality, and T-Shirts: An Entangled Tale".
