Bio-Sketch

Dr. Xiao Yuan joined Peking University in November 2020 and is currently an assistant professor at Center on Frontiers of Computing Studies, PKU. Before joining CFCS, he worked as a postdoc at Stanford University from 2019 to 2020, as a postdoc at Oxford University from 2017 to 2019, as an assistant researcher at University of Science and Technology of China in 2017. Dr. Yuan got his PhD in physics from Tsinghua University in 2016 and received his Bachelor in theoretical physics from Peking University in 2012. His research interests focus on three aspects of quantum information science, including near-term and universal quantum computing, quantum foundation, and quantum cryptography.
