Dr Jorge Campos-González-Angulo develops theoretical and computational models for quantum molecular systems, working at the interface of quantum chemistry, molecular photonics, and quantum computing. His research is part of the quantum decarbonisation mission of the Queensland Quantum Decarbonisation Alliance, providing the physical models needed to simulate and engineer molecular systems for clean energy and quantum technology applications.
His work on light–matter interaction spans from single molecules to collective quantum optical regimes, with applications in the design of organic light-emitting materials for sustainable electronics. A parallel line of research develops reduced models for spin-vibronic systems at molecule–electrode interfaces, with relevance to quantum sensing and electrochemical energy conversion. He also builds physically motivated molecular models that serve as rigorous benchmarks for fault-tolerant quantum computers, connecting advances in quantum hardware directly to chemical problems of practical importance.
Jorge completed his PhD in Chemistry at the University of California San Diego, where he worked with Prof. Joel Yuen-Zhou on foundational problems in vibropolaritonic chemistry. He then joined the Matter Lab of Prof. Alán Aspuru-Guzik at the University of Toronto as a Postdoctoral Fellow, where he was also an affiliate of the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence. He joined the University of Queensland in 2025 as a Lecturer jointly appointed in the Schools of Mathematics & Physics and Chemistry & Molecular Biosciences, and is a Chief Investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology (QUBIC).
