Andrew Zhao
Postdoctoral Fellow at Sandia National Laboratories

Quantum information theorist. I am broadly interested in how algorithms (both quantum and classical) can help to solve hard computational problems, simulate complex physical phenomena, and learn about the world around us.
I am currently a Gil Herrera Postdoctoral Fellow at Sandia National Labs. I received my PhD in physics from the University of New Mexico, advised by Akimasa Miyake. Previously, I did my undergrad at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I was introduced to quantum research through the mentorship of Shelby Kimmel (now at Middlebury College).
