Summary:

The research of the Quantum Computing Group (QCG) at the Tepper School focuses on the creation of radically different types of algorithms to optimize complex large-scale industrial problems startlingly faster, with the ultimate desired outcome of commercialized algorithms that are easily accessible for practical application.

QCG research takes place in three parallel areas:

  • Solving practical problems using novel quantum and quantum-inspired algorithms.
  • Developing robust and efficient processes of translating a mathematical algorithm into physical instructions executed by the hardware — known as compilers — for quantum computers.
  • Understanding and enhancing quantum speedup: how and why speed is increased, and by how much.

Qing Li

Dr. Qing Li is an Assistant Professor in the ECE department of Carnegie Mellon University. He received his Ph.D. from Georgia Institute of Technology, with his doctoral research focused on developing optical signal processing technologies in both silicon and silicon nitride platforms. He then worked as a CNST/UMD postdoctoral researcher in National Institute of Standards and Technology, where he developed techniques for chip-scale quantum frequency conversion, octave-spanning microresonator frequency combs for optical frequency synthesis, and photonic interfaces for interrogating rubidium atomic systems. His current research interests include the study of nonlinear optical processes and quantum information science using nanophotonics.
