Meet our 2024 Bloch Fellows!

David Long and Adam Shaw

David Long studies the dynamics of quantum systems. His theoretical research aims to uncover the robust phenomena that can occur out of equilibrium, and to understand the mechanisms underlying these effects. His recent work includes investigations of driven quantum systems, localization, and thermalization. He uses tools from quantum, classical, and statistical physics, and has recently been interested in how tools from mathematics and topology can be used to understand non-equilibrium phases of matter. David’s faculty supervisor is Vedika Khemani. He joined Q-FARM in September 2024.

Adam Shaw studies quantum computing at the atomic scale, using lasers and magnetic fields to trap and manipulate the quantum state of individual atoms. At Stanford, he aims to better control the interaction between light and matter to realize long-sought goals in quantum networking, and answer fundamental questions in quantum information science. Adam's faculty supervisor is Jon Simon. He joined Q-FARM as a Bloch fellow in September 2024.
