Samson Wang
I am a postdoctoral researcher at IQIM, Caltech. I work on theoretical aspects of quantum algorithms and near-term quantum computing.
Previously, I was fortunate to complete a PhD under the supervision of Mario Berta at Imperial College London, and then be a visiting researcher / postdoc at IRIF with Simon Apers.
