Fenner, Stephen A
Professor
I am currently interested in quantum information and computation, especially the complexity theoretic aspects of the subject. More generally, my research is in computational complexity, including relationships between complexity classes, resource-bounded reductions, and the almost-all structure of complexity classes (resource-bounded measure and category).
