About Jingbo
Professor Jingbo Wang is Head of the Department of Physics at The University of Western Australia (UWA), Chair of the Australian Institute of Physics (WA Branch), Director of the Research Hub for Quantum Information, Simulation and Algorithms (QUISA), and Director of the UWA-Pawsey Educational Quantum Computing Centre (UPQCC). She leads an internationally recognised research group focused on quantum walks, quantum simulation, and quantum algorithm development.
Professor Wang received her PhD from the Department of Physics and Mathematical Physics at the University of Adelaide. She subsequently held research positions at the University of Adelaide, Murdoch University, and The University of Western Australia, where she established her research program in quantum information science.
Professor Wang pioneered cutting-edge research involving, in particular, single and multiple particle quantum walks. Her research team was the first to show the power of quantum walks in extracting local and global structural information of complex networks and in distinguishing a wide range of non-isomorphic graph classes. The team also developed a general quantum compiler with an optimizer, which maps a given quantum algorithm to a quantum circuit consisting of a sequential set of elementary quantum logic gates. It provides a powerful tool to assist in the design of the actual physical implementation of quantum algorithms in laboratories. Professor Wang and her team have recently obtained some of the most efficient quantum circuits to implement a wide variety of quantum operators, which could underpin the utmost quantum supremacy. Her research team aims to solve problems of practical importance, including complex network analysis, graph theoretical studies, machine learning, combinatorial optimization, and quantum simulation.
