Hannah Knaack (Assoc)

Graduate student

Hannah became interested in quantum information after taking a class from Theresa Lynn in her sophomore year of college. As an undergrad, she did research in quantum optics under Theresa Lynn at Harvey Mudd, as well as in quantum simulation under Poul Jessen at the University of Arizona. She now works on generating high-fidelity entanglement between different ion species without lasers. In her free time she enjoys running up mountains, baking bread, and making elaborate homemade Halloween costumes.
