Juan Pablo Paz (born 1959) is an Argentinian physicist who works in the field of quantum computing.
He then went for postdoctoral stays to the University of Maryland (1989-1991) and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (1991-1994).
[1] Currently he is full professor in the Physics Department of the University of Buenos Aires,[1] where he leads the Quantum Foundations and Information group.
He has also studied how to use quantum computers to simulate chaotic systems, in the context of chaos theory.
In 2002, alongside César Miguel and Marcos Saraceno, he developed a program that allows efficient spectroscopy and tomography using a quantum computer, establishing for the first time an analogy between these tasks.
