Hi, I am Kaifeng Bu, a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Ohio State University. Before that, I was a postdoc in the Department of Physics at Harvard University, working together with Arthur Jaffe from 2019 to 2024. I received both my B.S. (2014) and Ph.D. (2019) from the School of Mathematical Sciences at Zhejiang University.
My research lies at the intersection of quantum information, physics, computer science, and mathematics. Key areas of focus include quantum information and computation, quantum machine learning, mathematical physics, quantum Fourier analysis, quantum probability and statistics, and quantum resource theory.
If you are interested in joining my group (as graduate students or postdocs), please send an email (including your CV) to bu.115@osu.edu
