Levy Research Group

Our group studies nonequilibrium quantum dynamics in atoms, molecules, and engineered qubits, developing open-system descriptions that remain predictive far from equilibrium. We identify and exploit quantum resources such as coherence and correlations for robust quantum control, transport, and noise mitigation, and use quasiprobability frameworks to diagnose and quantify genuinely nonclassical dynamical behavior. We further connect these effects to nonequilibrium thermodynamics, clarifying how heat, work, and entropy production emerge in the quantum regime.
