Ahmed Abdelrahman, PhD

Ahmed completed his postdoctoral research in the Physics Department at the University of California, Berkeley, and at Stanford University. His research focuses on quantum simulation and quantum information processing with magnetically and electrically confined individual particles. At Berkeley, he worked with trapped ions, i.e. electrically confined charged particles, to execute quantum gates and algorithms and to simulate solid-state structures for investigating physical configurations such as phase transitions. Ahmed is originally from Sudan. He earned his master’s degree in Europe, at KTH University in Sweden and Leipzig University in Germany, and his PhD in Western Australia. He traveled across Asia before joining UC Berkeley.
