Soonwon Choi

Research Interests

Soonwon Choi is interested in exploring dynamical phenomena that occur in strongly interacting quantum many-body systems far from equilibrium and designing their novel applications for quantum information science. This research topic is extremely rich and often involves a wide variety of interdisciplinary approaches to study: from analytic theory and numerical computations to collaborations on experiments with controlled quantum degrees of freedom.
