Daniel Spencer

My research is focused on two fields of quantum information science: quantum algorithms and quantum sensing. On the quantum algorithms front, I am mostly interested in NISQ applications to problems involving classical data, most notably mathematical finance, where I have worked on things like portfolio optimization, derivative pricing, and the prediction of financial crashes. I am also interested in cryptographic applications to finance and using the tools of quantum information to better understand markets. On the quantum sensing front, I have mostly worked on encrypted sensing but am also broadly interested in sensor networks and their various applications.
