Quantum engineering

Quantum engineering in an electrical engineering context harnesses the power of quantum mechanics for electrical devices. Quantum computing, an emerging field that has promise to solve problems traditional computing can’t, is among the most prominent examples in electrical engineering.

Electrical engineering faculty members in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering are conducting research in a variety of areas in quantum engineering, including the use of quantum mechanics to improve infrared imaging, improving calculation abilities of adaptive quantum computing algorithms and more.

Christian Arenz

Assistant Professor

School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering

Christian joined Arizona State University as an assistant professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering in January 2022. Prior to joining ASU he was a lecturer and an associate research scholar at Princeton University. Previously, he completed his PhD in applied mathematics at Aberystwyth University in 2016, where he focused on the control of open and noisy quantum systems. He completed his master’s degree equivalent in theoretical physics from Saarland University in 2012, where he studied quantum optical systems.  Christian’s current research centers on using tools from control theory to advance quantum information science. His work targets applications such…
