Alexander Maloney (he/him/his)
James McGill Professor of Physics (on leave 2024-25)
I am a physicist working on fundamental questions in theoretical physics.

RESEARCH INTERESTS
A few specific research interests include:
- Black Holes:
Their entropy and thermodynamics, the quantum mechanics of black holes, and the quantization of geometry.
- Holography and AdS/CFT:
Solvable models of quantum gravity, the emergence of semi-classical space-time, and applications of gauge/gravity duality to strongly coupled systems.
- Quantum Information Theory:
The relationships between quantum information theory and fundamental problems in field theory and quantum gravity.
- Conformal Field Theory:
The dynamics of strongly coupled CFTs, the conformal bootstrap, and quantum chaos.
- Quantum Cosmology:
The resolution of cosmological singularities, de Sitter space, inflation, and the wave function of the universe.
