Keith Fratus

Keith Fratus is a Quantum Algorithms Specialist at HQS Quantum Simulations. Prior to their current position, Keith was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the IPCMS Department of organic materials from September 2017 to August 2019. Keith researched the theoretical interpretation of Scanning Gate Microscopy (SGM) experiments under the direction of Dietmar Weinmann and Rodolfo Jalabert. Keith's research is funded by an ANR grant awarded to Dietmar Weinmann through CNRS.

In addition to their work at IPCMS, Keith also continued their work on the subject of isolated quantum thermalization, in particular the question of how much information about a finite-temperature phase transition can be obtained from one eigenstate of a quantum, non-integrable Hamiltonian. From June 2017 to September 2017, Keith was a Teaching Associate at UCSB Department of Physics.

Keith Fratus received a PhD in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics from UC Santa Barbara. Keith also holds two BS degrees, one in Mathematics and one in Physics, both from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
