The QSAI (Quantum Secure Artificial Intelligence, ξ) group, hosted by Prof. Junyu Liu in the University of Pittsburgh, School of Computing, Department of Computer Science, is a research group working on the quantum computing systems for quantum computing, machine learning, communication and sensing. 


The group focuses on the following three research topics:


a. Near-term Quantum Algorithms: Fundamental principles of quantum machine learning algorithms that can run on currently available noisy machines, hardware experiments, and various possible applications (such as in natural sciences, biomedicine, financial technology, and supply chain optimization). Quantum computer systems and architectures.   


b. Fault-Tolerant Quantum Algorithms: Fundamental principles of quantum machine learning algorithms that can run on large future devices capable of quantum error correction, software simulation, and their various possible applications, quantum error correction algorithms, and hardware for early fault-tolerant quantum computers.   


c. Quantum Networks and Quantum Data Centers: Quantum security, quantum cryptography and post-quantum cryptography, quantum network theory, quantum sensing, and their applications.  

Hiring: Prof. Liu is hiring undergraduate, graduate students and postdocs for the above research topics, starting from Fall 2024, Spring 2025 and Fall 2025. For students they can get full RA/TA. For postdocs they can be supported by competitive postdoc fellowships.
