Liang Jiang

Professor Liang Jiang is a faculty member at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, specializing in theoretical quantum systems. He leads the Jiang Group, focusing on quantum communication, computing, sensing, and error correction. His work emphasizes protecting quantum information via advanced control techniques and error correction to enable robust quantum processing.

Education: BS from Caltech (2004), PhD from Harvard (2009), Sherman Fairchild Postdoc at Caltech. Previously held roles at Yale University before joining UChicago in 2019. Awards include Alfred P. Sloan and Packard Fellowships. Research spans modular quantum computation, global networks, and nano-scale sensors.

Key areas of study include quantum control protocols, error correction mechanisms, and applications in sensing/simulation. Group members include graduate/postdoc researchers like Gideon Lee, Senrui Chen, and Junyu Liu. Active in patent development (e.g., quantum error correction patents from 2016–2020).

Labs/Teams: Jiang Group actively recruits students/postdocs, emphasizing interdisciplinary research at the intersection of quantum theory and applied physics. Collaborates on hardware-software integration for scalable quantum systems.
