Amlan Datta

I am a graduate student (PhD) in Condensed Matter Physics at Iowa State University and the Ames National Laboratory.

My research addresses one of the most pressing challenges in quantum information science: understanding and mitigating materials-level limitations in superconducting transmon qubits, which represent a critical barrier to the scalability and reliability of quantum computing technologies.

In addition to my research on superconducting materials for quantum devices, I conduct fundamental studies of superconducting-state properties in exotic and unconventional superconductors, emphasizing intrinsic electrodynamics, quasiparticle behavior, gap structures and vortex dynamics, driven by open questions in superconductivity and condensed matter physics.
