Jue XU

I am a PhD student in CS at the University of Hong Kong. I earned a master’s degree in CS from the University of Maryland and a master’s degree in physical sciences from the University of Chicago. My research interests lie in the fundamental interplay between physics and computer science. My work includes quantum simulation, classical simulation, and the complexity of quantum algorithms. Recently, I am particularly interested in using AI to automate scientific research, i.e., identify, develop, and verify practical quantum advantage.
