My name is Jin-Peng Liu (刘锦鹏). I am a Tenure Track Assistant Professor at YMSC, Tsinghua University.
I was a Postdoctoral Associate at Center for Theoretical Physics, MIT, hosted by Aram Harrow in 2023-2024. I was a Simons Quantum Postdoctoral Fellow at Simons Institute, UC Berkeley, hosted by Umesh Vazirani and Lin Lin in 2022-2023.
I received my Ph.D. in AMSC at University of Maryland in 2022, advised by Andrew Childs. I received my B.S. in Hua Loo Keng Class at Beihang and Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017, supervised by Ya-xiang Yuan.
My research focuses on Quantum for Science and AI+QS. I attempt to develop, analyze, and optimize provably efficient quantum algorithms for science and AI problems, including topics: (i) robust quantum simulations; (ii) efficient quantum scientific computation; (iii) scalable quantum machine learning, toward end-to-end applications in areas such as quantum chemistry, biology and epidemiology, fluid dynamics, finance, machine learning, and artificial general intelligence.
