Mark McMahon Wilde (born September 10, 1980) is an American quantum information scientist. Wilde's research spans quantum information theory (including communication trade-offs,    quantum rate-distortion  ), network quantum information, quantum error correction,  quantum optical communication,  quantum computational complexity, and quantum entropy inequalities.

He has written or coauthored two textbooks on quantum information theory. The first textbook utilizes the von Neumann entropy and its variants and the notion of typical subspace to present the capacities of quantum communication channels. The second textbook utilizes the Renyi entropy and its variants, the hypothesis testing relative entropy, and the smooth max-relative entropy to present the capacities of quantum communication channels. It also has a part dedicated to foundational concepts in quantum information and entanglement theory and another part to feedback-assisted capacities, representing more recent developments from 2013 and on.

Education
Wilde graduated from Jesuit High School in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1998. He received his bachelor's degree in computer engineering from Texas A&M University in 2002, with support from the Thomas Barton Scholarship. He received his Master's degree in electrical engineering from Tulane University in 2004, with support from a teaching assistantship. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from University of Southern California in 2008, under the supervision of Todd Brun and with support from a School of Engineering Fellowship. His Ph.D. thesis was entitled "Quantum Coding with Entanglement" and contributed to the theory of entanglement-assisted quantum error correction. During this time, he also received the Best Teaching Assistant Award from the Department of Electrical Engineering at USC. After his Ph.D. studies, he conducted postdoctoral work in the School of Computer Science at McGill University from 2009–2013 under the supervision of Patrick Hayden, focusing on the topics of quantum information theory, quantum error correction, and quantum computational complexity.

Career
In August 2013, he became Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Center for Computation and Technology at Louisiana State University. In August 2018, he was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure.

He has been Associate Editor for Quantum Information Theory for IEEE Transactions on Information Theory since May 2015, for New Journal of Physics since January 2018, and on the Editorial Board for Quantum Information Processing since March 2012.

He has co-organized the Southwest Quantum Information and Technology Workshop in 2017 and 2018. He was the program committee chair for the 2018 Quantum Communication, Measurement, and Computing Conference and the 2017 Conference on Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication, and Cryptography.
