Faculty

Andrea Coladangelo joined the University of Washington faculty in January 2023. He co-leads the Quantum group and is also part of the Theory and Crypto groups at the Allen School. Coladangelo is broadly interested in quantum computation. Recently, he has been most excited about understanding the interplay between quantum computation and cryptography. Previously, he has studied foundational questions about entanglement and quantum correlations, inspired by the question of certifying quantum devices.

Before UW, Coladangelo was a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley and the Simons Institute, working with Umesh Vazirani. He obtained my PhD at Caltech, where I was fortunate to be advised by Thomas Vidick. In a previous life, he received a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Oxford and a Master in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge. He co-founded qBraid, a cloud-based platform for learning quantum computing and developing quantum algorithms.
