Connor Clayton

I received my B.S. in Computer Science and B.S. in Materials Science from Carnegie Mellon University in 2020 and I began my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Maryland in August 2021. My research approaches fault-tolerant quantum computation and quantum networks from a computer systems perspective, and most recently I am intersted in the performance of distributed qLDPC code gadgets and physically-motivated protocols for the stabilizing entanglement distribution on a drifitng quantum link. I am fortunate to be advised by Xiaodi Wu.
