Greetings!

Hello, my name is Yusheng Zhao. I come from Shanghai, China.

Research Interests

I am mainly interested in Quantum Computation. More concretely in the fields of

• Quantum Simulation
• Quantum Error Correction and Mitigation
• Quantum Optimal Pulse Control
• Quantum Software development

Background

I received my Master’s degree in Physics from Stony Brook University under the supervision of Prof. Tzu-chieh Wei.

I received my B.A in Physics and Computer Science from New York University

Hackathon Experiences

I enjoy attending Hackathons. I have competed in the following ones.

• iQuHACK 2021 Hybrid-Division Winner
• IBM Quantum Challenge Fall 2021 Rank 9
• CCF “Compass Cup” Third Prize Winner
• QHack 2021 QML Challenges

Peripherals

Confucious once said that “If a workman wishes to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.” I try to use the best ergonomic keyboards and mice. Hopefully they will prolong my career as a programmer.

I am currently using an Ergodox-EZ keyboard with Logitech MX Ergo.

I have used HHKB previously until my wrist starts to hurt due to the small size of that keyboard forcing me to an awkward poise.

Misc

I have a wide variety of interests. They include Linux ricing, jogging (PR: 10k at 5:21), swimming, tennis, and Water Rowing.

I used to enjoy ricing my Emacs configuration. Currently, I found Doom Emacs satisfying all my needs.

I use Xmonad to manage my windows on my Linux workstation.
