Ji Liu
Assistant Computer Scientist
Biography
Ji Liu is an Assistant Computer Scientist under the supervision of Dr. Paul Hovland. He received his Ph.D. from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, where he majored in computer engineering under the supervision of Prof. Huiyang Zhou. Prior to joining Argonne, he was a summer intern at IBM in 2020, where he developed topology-aware quantum circuit optimizations. Personal website: https://programinquantum.com
Liu’s research focuses on Quantum Computing, Computer Architecture, and Compiler Optimization with a special interest in improving the programmability, debuggability, and reliability of quantum computers. His work has appeared at top venues in Computer Architecture (ASPLOS’20, HPCA’21, HPCA’22, ISCA’24), Quantum Computing(QCE’23), Compiler Optimization(CGO’21), Super Computing(ICS’20), and Workload Characterization(IISWC’20).
Currently, he is working on noise-aware compilers for NISQ computers. He is also interested in quantum algorithms including quantum machine learning and quantum combinatorial algorithms such as VQE and the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm.
