Bio
Natalie Klco is an assistant professor of physics at Duke University, where she is affiliated with the Nuclear Theory Group and the Duke Quantum Center. Her research focuses on simulating field theories and many-body quantum systems using quantum devices. This approach leverages recent advances in experimental quantum computing alongside non-perturbative techniques from nuclear and particle physics to explore subatomic physics, including the fundamental interactions of quarks and gluons. Klco received her Ph.D. in physics from the University of Washington.
