Theory
Xi Chen is one of a small number of researchers to be awarded two highly prestigious honors—the 2021 Gödel Prize and the 2021 Fulkerson Prize—in one year.
The theoretical computer scientist will use the award to push the boundaries of quantum information science.

About
The group does research on the fundamental capabilities and limitations of efficient computation.
In addition, they use computation as a lens to gain deeper insights into problems from the natural, social, and engineering sciences.
The group is highly collaborative, both within Columbia and among peer institutions. They hold a weekly Theory Lunch and a bi-weekly Student Seminar. Most graduate students have (at least) two advisors and collaborate with several professors and other students. Some of the faculty are cross-listed with the IEOR department and the Data Science Institute.
