Jingbo Wang

Jingbo Wang is an Australian quantum physicist working in the area of quantum simulation, quantum algorithms, and quantum information science.

Education Wang received her PhD from the Department of Physics and Mathematical Physics, University of Adelaide, Australia. She directs the QUISA (Quantum Information, Simulation and Algorithms) Research Centre, which aims to foster collaboration and entrepreneurship, bringing together academic staff, research students, government and industrial partners to develop innovative quantum solutions to tackle otherwise intractable problems and complex phenomena. Professor Wang is also the Chair of Australian Institute of Physics (WA Branch).

Her team carried out research involving especially single and multi-particle quantum walks, demonstrating their power in analyzing complex networks, in identifying topological similarities in complex systems, in image processing and machine learning, and in optimizing combinatorial problems. They have also obtained highly efficient quantum circuits to implement quantum algorithms of practical importance.
