Graduate Student Researcher @ UC Berkeley

Berkeley, California, United States

About

A graduate student enthusiastic about quantum computing, worked on deep learning and quantum machine learning researches but more interested in experimental realization of quantum computers. Currently focusing on trapped electron quantum information processing. A physicist by heart and a strong believer of the Bousso-Susskind Multiverse Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. Amateur in music, with an interest in playing some traditional Chinese music instruments.
