A cross-institution team.

A theoretical and computational nuclear and particle physicist whose research connects lattice QCD, hadron structure, phenomenology, and quantum simulation. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Kentucky and held research appointments at Jefferson Lab and the RIKEN-BNL Research Center before joining NMSU.

A theoretical physicist whose research focuses on the interface of nuclear and particle physics, especially quantum chromodynamics. His work spans effective field theory, strongly interacting matter, many-body physics, and quantum information approaches to nuclear systems.

A physicist in Brookhaven's High Energy Theory group whose research centers on lattice gauge theory and QCD. His work includes chiral fermion formulations, precision hadronic observables, numerical algorithms, and large-scale lattice computations.

A computational scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory working in high-performance computing. His expertise includes quantum computing, quantum algorithms, quantum error mitigation and correction, and computational applied mathematics.

Md Habib E Islam Digonto is a postdoctoral researcher at New Mexico State University working on the DOE GENESIS project “AI-Accelerated Non-Abelian Gauge Dynamics on Quantum Hardware.” His research connects scattering theory and lattice QCD with quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and high-performance scientific computing. He develops computational methods for relativistic few- and many-body amplitudes, finite-volume lattice-QCD analysis, and AI-assisted, hardware-aware quantum simulation of SU(2) gauge dynamics, including symmetry-preserving encodings, circuit optimization, and hybrid CPU–GPU–QPU workflows.

Juan Gil Fraile is a graduate student in the Department of Physics at New Mexico State University working in nuclear and particle physics theory. As a member of SU2QC, he contributes to the collaboration’s study of non-Abelian lattice gauge dynamics and quantum-simulation workflows.
