About
The Forum
The New Jersey Quantum Matter and Information Forum (NJQMI Forum) is a joint initiative organized by Princeton and Rutgers University graduate students to foster long term friendships within the quantum condensed matter and quantum information physics research community, in New Jersey.
The forum will be held as a one day event every year, alternating between Princeton and Rutgers. We welcome all those interested in quantum condensed matter, or quantum information (both theory and experiments) to come along.Hopefully we can all learn from each other and maybe even spark some collaborations together!i
If you're interested in registering for our next forum, Spring 2023 at Rutgers, sign up here.

Liam L.H. Lau
Rutgers 1st YearI am a physics graudate student at Rutgers University, jointly advised by Piers Coleman and Ananda Roy. I am interested in the interface between condensed matter and quantum information physics. I fancy myself as a theorist, but I find a lot of joy in talking to people about experiments...
Tyler A. Cochran
Princeton 5th YearI’m a physics graduate student at Princeton University, working in the group of M. Zahid Hasan. My research utilizes synchrotron-based photoemission probes to diagnose electronic properties of single crystals. Recently, my attention has been focused on how to tune electronic correlations to give rise to topologically nontrivial states in otherwise conventional crystals.
Lilit Sargsyan
Rutgers 2nd YearI am a physics graduate student at Rutgers University. My research advisor is Emil Yuzbashyan. Currently I am working on inverse Landau-Zener optimization problem. I am also interested in quantum information science and superconducting qubits.
Jiayi Hu
Princeton 2nd YearI'm a 3rd year graduate student in Professor Ong's group at Princeton University. My current research interest is low temperature thermal transport on quantum materials.
Michael Terilli
Rutgers 3rd YearI am an experimental physicist working in Jak Chakhalian’s group at Rutgers University. I am interested in strongly-correlated materials, especially thin film oxides. My goal is to use spectroscopy techniques to find novel electronic and topological properties in these materials.
Michael Scheer
Princeton 3rd YearI'm a graduate student at Princeton University studying condensed matter theory with Biao Lian. My recent work is focused on twisted bilayer graphene. Before graduate school, I worked as a quantum engineer and research scientist at Rigetti Computing.
Invited Talk
Titles
Talk topics could be about anything: your current project, your March Meeting talk, or even ideas you're seeking collaboration on. The main goal is to learn about each other and the research going on in the field.
