Matthew A. Feldman is a Staff Scientist in the Quantum Computing and Sensing Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His research focuses on quantum compilation, continuous-variable quantum information science, and quantum optics. He also uses physics-informed artificial intelligence for scientific discovery, with applications in quantum-system design, optimization, and experimental workflows.

Feldman and his collaborators combine theory, simulation, and experiment to develop methods for implementing quantum operations more efficiently and reliably on experimental hardware. He studies how squeezed light and quantum correlations can improve optical measurements and the learning of quantum operations. His published work includes continuous-variable quantum compilation, variational quantum process learning, quantum noise reduction, distributed quantum sensing, and solid-state single-photon emitters.

His research draws on nonlinear interferometry, machine learning, Bayesian inference, and quantum control. He is particularly interested in using AI and computational models to help quantum systems adapt to noise, uncertainty, and changing experimental conditions.

Feldman earned a Ph.D. in physics from Vanderbilt University and a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Florida.
