Ahmed Ali Akhtar, Ph.D.

I am a theoretical, condensed matter physicist. I am interested in entanglement in many-body systems, topological matter, quantum information, many-body localization, classical shadow tomography, numerical methods, and related topics. I also enjoy reading and occasionally writing about politics, humor, philosophy, music and film.

In my free time, I enjoy organizing around the things that are personally and politically important to me. As social creatures, we interact and from those interactions emerge interesting and complex social and economic structures. Alone, we have very little impact on those structures. If we want to dramatically change our world, we have to get organized.
