Biography

I am an Associate Researcher and Outstanding Young Talent in the College of Computer Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology (NUDT).

My research develops practical foundations for reliable and scalable quantum information processing. I work across photonic quantum computing, quantum characterization, verification and validation, distributed quantum estimation, and quantum information theory.

Before joining NUDT, I was a Senior Researcher at the Institute for Quantum Computing, Baidu Research, from 2020 to 2023. I led the development of the Quantum Error Processing (QEP) toolkit for characterizing, mitigating, and correcting errors in quantum devices through software. I received the Shenzhen Industrial Development and Innovation Talent Award in 2023.

Previously, I was a postdoc at the Shenzhen Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering (SIQSE), Southern University of Science and Technology, where I worked with Prof. Masahito Hayashi.

Education

I received my bachelor’s degree and Ph.D. from Nanjing University in 2013 and 2019, respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Fangmin Song.

In 2018, I visited the Southern University of Science and Technology under the supervision of Prof. Masahito Hayashi, supported by the Program B for Outstanding Ph.D. Candidate of Nanjing University.

In 2017, I visited the University of Technology Sydney under the supervision of Prof. Runyao Duan, supported by the China Scholarship Council.
