My research interests are spin-based quantum computation, quantum foundations and physics education research (see research page).

I am deeply committed to advancing education and delivering impactful, high-quality teaching. I have been recognized with multiple Teaching Excellence Awards in 2017, 2019 and 2023. My work in technology-enhanced inquiry was also featured on NTU INSPIRE and reproduced at Times Higher Ed. Most recently, I received the prestigious Nanyang Education Award at the School level.

Dr Arghya Maity
Research Fellow

My research interests lie broadly in the fields of Quantum Information Theory and Quantum Computing. I am also interested in problems in Quantum Thermodynamics and Open Quantum Systems. Additionally, I briefly explored topics in Quantum Biology.

Currently, my primary focus is on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, particularly addressing fundamental questions related to the emergence of the classical world from the underlying quantum framework.

I obtained my PhD in Physics from BITS Pilani. Following that, I joined IIT Bombay, Mumbai, and subsequently moved to the Harish-Chandra Research Institute (HRI), Prayagraj, for postdoctoral stints.

Dr Kelvin ONGGADINATA
Research Fellow

My research primarily focuses on the field of quantum information and quantum foundations, particularly on utilizing the concept of negative probability to understand nonclassical phenomena and their advantages. I am also interested in quantum computing, including their implementations, practical applications, and resources for achieving quantum advantage. Outside of physics, I enjoy watching movies, traveling, and photography.

I obtained a BSc in Physics from NTU, and a PhD degree from the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore.

Mr KOH Si Yan
PhD Student

I work on the theory of quantum computing with donor spin qubits in a circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) architecture. I am currently exploring the properties of a donor-acceptor complex in silicon for novel applications in cQED.

I obtained a BSc in Physics from NTU, and am currently in my final year of the PhD programme.

Mr Jonathan KENNY
PhD Student

I work on quantum sensing in nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond and boron vacancy centers in hexagonal boron nitride. I perform theoretical calculations and work at the interface of theory and experiment with my colleagues in Prof GAO Weibo's lab.

I obtained a BSc in Physics from NTU, and am currently in my final year of the PhD programme. My main supervisor is Prof GAO Weibo, and co-supervisor is Dr Koh.


Mr LIM Zi Yao
PhD Student

My main focus of study is on open quantum system dynamics in both Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. I am also interested in quantum foundations, quantum information, and their interplay with the open quantum system framework. My hobbies include reading, playing games, and Chinese calligraphy.

I obtained a BSc in Physics from NTU, and am currently working towards a PhD degree. My main supervisor is Dr Koh, and co-supervisor is Asst Prof Nelly Ng.

Mr CHEN Mingyi
Project Officer

My research focusses on noise and decoherence of qubits. I study dynamical decoupling techniques for correlated and universal noise.

I obtained a BSc in Physics from NUS.

Ms WU Weifan
Undergraduate Intern

Weifan joins the group as an undergraduate intern. She is currently working on the dispersive readout of a qubit based on donor spins for her URECA project, and will be continuing with the project for her final year dissertation.

Mr GOH Li Fan Shawn
Undergraduate Intern

Shawn joins the group as an undergraduate intern. He has completed his final year dissertation, Costs of simulating quantum circuits using quasiprobability distribution.
