Jiaqi (Jimmy) Leng
I am a fifth-year doctoral student in the AMSC program (track: applied math) at the University of Maryland, College Park. I am also affiliated to QuICS. I’m fortunate to be advised by Xiaodi Wu. My name in Chinese: 冷佳奇.
My research focuses on quantum algorithms for continuous optimization and scientific computing. Specifically, I advocate Hamiltonian-oriented quantum algorithm design, a new paradigm in quantum computation that emphasizes both provable quantum speedups and realistic hardware implementability. I am particularly interested in the following topics:
- Theoretical foundation and design of quantum algorithms,
- Resource-efficient deployment of quantum algorithms,
- Infrastructure (e.g., software toolchains, benchmark, etc.) for quantum applications.
