Hi! I'm Nobuyuki Yoshioka, or Nobu. I am a faculty member at University of Tokyo working on quantum many-body theory, quantum computing.
My research interest lies in understanding the boundary of classical and quantum world from cutting-edge computational methods. In particular:
Quantum computing (e.g. Quantum algorithms, Practical quantum advantage, Learning and taming quantum noise)
Computational quantum many-body physics (e.g. Machine learning approach, Neural quantum states)
I look forward to work together with motivated students and postdocs!
For further info regarding joining the group, please feel free to contact me via email ny.nobuyoshioka_at_gmail.com.
