Meng Wang The University of British Columbia

Hello! I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia, where I work with Professor Prashant J. Nair.

My research focuses on scalable and efficient quantum computing systems. It spans quantum architecture, quantum compilation, simulation, and fault-tolerant quantum computing, with an emphasis on system-level techniques that reduce the cost of executing quantum programs across the computing stack.

My work has appeared in top computer architecture venues including ISCA, MICRO, and ASPLOS. I develop compiler, architecture, and runtime techniques for quantum circuit simulation, distributed and multi-device execution, and fault-tolerant quantum computation, with an emphasis on bridging theoretical quantum algorithms, practical large-scale systems, and emerging quantum hardware.

I have also built cross-disciplinary and multi-institution collaborations, including quantum chemistry simulation work at UBC with the National Research Council Canada (NRC) and participation in the Quantum Science Center (QSC) and Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA) during my research at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). These collaborations connect quantum systems research with applications in computer science, chemistry, physics, and national laboratory programs.
