Algorithms and tooling for quantum information processing, from tensor-network search methods to photonic/fermionic simulators and hardware-aware runtimes for near-term devices.
Operator- and tensor-network framing for structured search, paired with reproducible simulator maintenance (Piquasso, ffsim) and hardware-aware runtime/mitigation work for community challenges.

Research notes
Quantum information & computationMy HKUST Physics MPhil with Prof. Adrian Po (Jan 2024–Aug 2025) reframes Collatz trajectories as operator and tensor-network objects to study structured search. In parallel, I maintain photonic and fermionic simulators (Piquasso, ffsim) with reproducibility checklists and hardware-aware benchmarks.
This track also includes hardware-aware runtime and mitigation work—from IBM Quantum Challenge authoring to open-source contributions—so that structured-search ideas stay grounded in device realities.
Key results3
- Mapped Collatz trajectories into tensor-network operators to study search structure.
- Aligned tensor-network heuristics across photonic and fermionic stacks with upstream maintainers.
- Co-authored hardware-aware challenge tracks and mitigation workflows used by 3k+ participants.
Ongoing projects3
- Finalizing the Oct 2025 thesis and releasing structured-search visualizations.
- Benchmarking tensor-network paths and runtime costs across simulators.
- Documenting hardware-aware patterns for open-source contributors.
