Yuan Liu is an Assistant Professor jointly appointed in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Computer Science at NC State University. He is also an NSF Quantum Computing and Information Science Faculty Fellow.
Liu’s research lies at the intersection of quantum information science, theoretical chemistry and physics, and quantum engineering. His recent work includes advances in quantum algorithms and simulation, quantum signal processing, hybrid continuous–discrete-variable quantum information processing, algorithmic-level error correction and quantum sensing.
Before joining NC State, Liu was a postdoctoral researcher in the Research Laboratory of Electronics and the Department of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His work integrates theory and application in pursuit of scalable, robust and interdisciplinary quantum technologies.
Liu serves as Lead at NC State’s Center for Hybrid Quantum Computing. By uniting discrete-variable (qubit) and continuous-variable (bosonic mode) systems, the center is working to create powerful hybrid quantum paradigms that push performance beyond both classical and qubit-only computers.
