So the requirements I&#8217;m looking for are (a) hired into a tenure track position in a US university with at least fifty percent of their appointment in CS, (b) hired after 2001, and (c) they would say their main area of research is quantum information science theory.<br \/>\nHere is my current list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scott Aaronson (MIT)<\/li>\n<li>P.

Here is my first stab at such a list&#8230;though it&#8217;s a bit harder because the line between quantum computing theorist, and say, AMO theorist who studies systems that might be quantum computing is difficult.<br \/>\nPhysicists, quantum computing theory,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lorenza Viola (Dartmouth)<\/li>\n<li>Stephen van Enk (Oregon)<\/li>\n<li>Alexei Kitaev (Caltech)<\/li>\n<li>Paolo Zanardi (USC)<\/li>\n<li>Mark Byrd (Southern Illinois University)<\/li>\n<li>Luming Duan (Michigan)<\/li>\n<li>Kurt Jacobs (UMass Boston)<\/li>\n<li>Peter Love (Haverford)<\/li>\n<li>Jon Dowling (LSU)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure I missed a lot hear, please help me fill it in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m trying to put together a list of people who have been hired in the United States universities in CS departments who do theoretical quantum computing over the last decade.
