Jingbo Wang

Professor Jingbo Wang is a faculty member at The University of Western Australia (UWA), serving as Head of the Physics Department and Director of QUISA (Research Hub for Quantum Information, Simulation, and Algorithms). She leads research in quantum walks, quantum simulation, and quantum algorithms. Her affiliations include the Australian Institute of Physics (Chair of WA Branch) and the ARC College of Experts. She holds a PhD from the University of Adelaide.

Education: PhD in Physics and Mathematical Physics from the University of Adelaide. Previous affiliations include Murdoch University and UWA.

Research focuses on quantum walks, quantum algorithms for optimization, machine learning, and network analysis. Key contributions include quantum compilers, efficient quantum circuits, and applications in complex systems. Her work bridges theory and experimental implementation, with collaborations in photonic quantum processors and quantum machine learning.

Recent articles explore quantum computing applications in finance, biology, and physics. Awards include the Vice-Chancellor’s Research Mentorship Award (2022) and Australian Institute of Physics Fellowship (2021).

Advising and grants involve leadership in quantum computing initiatives, including the UWA-Pawsey Educational Quantum Computing Centre. Her team develops algorithms for real-world problems like portfolio optimization and metabolic pathway analysis. She co-authored books on computational quantum mechanics and quantum walks.

Labs/teams: QUISA Research Hub, UPQCC, and collaborations with institutions like CSIRO and Pawsey Supercomputing Centre.
