About QuCS

Our Mission

Our mission is to foster a vibrant and collaborative community of quantum computing researchers, educators, and enthusiasts, both within our esteemed institution and the broader global community. We are committed to advancing the field of quantum computing through cutting-edge research, innovative education programs, and dynamic partnerships with industry leaders and fellow academic institutions.

Founders

QuCS was co-founded by Zhiding Liang from CUHK and Hanrui Wang from UCLA.

We aim to build basic quantum knowledge for audiences without a quantum computing background but interested in the field. We also target introducing more advanced research topics by inviting experts in quantum computing.
