Bang C. Huynh
Bang Huynh is the Oglander Fellow at New College. His main research interest revolves around the systematic exploration of symmetry via group and representation theories to develop accurate electronic-structure methods and to gain chemical insights into computational results for a diverse range of complex chemical systems, especially those in challenging or unusual conditions. He is the principal developer and maintainer of QSym², a robust program written in Rust for analysing symmetry properties of many important quantum-chemical quantities (https://qsym2.dev/).
Bang is currently working on constructing a general theoretical and computational framework that treats spatial and temporal symmetries in extended systems on an equal footing, so that the electronic structure of crystalline materials and their interaction with dynamic external perturbations can be examined and classified consistently. These insights will inform the study and design of new materials that have the potential to serve as qubits with long coherence time, thereby enhancing the lifetime and fidelity of quantum information in quantum computing. He is also keen to utilise symmetry to develop noise-resistant quantum-computing algorithms for the computation of electron correlation.
