Ethan Kasaba

I am a physics PhD student from Middletown, New Jersey, interested in superconducting quantum systems and quantum information science. I joined the lab as an undergraduate in 2022, completing an honors thesis on simulating quantum chemistry with multimode circuit QED (Henry Rutgers Award, 2025), before rejoining as a graduate student in fall 2026. Specifically, I am intrigued by the development of hardware and the fabrication responsible for such experimentation, along with the potential and implications of these systems in solving problems impossible with classical computation. Currently, I am working on pulse generation and measurements with multimode cavities. Outside of the lab, I can be found enjoying 19th and 20th-century literature, working on my car, or studying the Japanese language, literary works, and history.
