Thinh Le

Dr. Thinh Le is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Computer Science, University of Technology Sydney, where he works at the Centre for Quantum Software and Information (since 2023). His academic journey includes research fellowships at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information Vienna (2020-2023) and Leibniz University Hannover (2019-2020). He earned his PhD in Physics (2015) and BSc in Physics (2011) from the National University of Singapore.

Thinh's research focuses on quantum information science, bridging theoretical foundations and experimental implementations. His work addresses critical challenges in quantum computing (error correction, fault tolerance), quantum tomography (device-independent characterization), and quantum software stack development. He investigates quantum randomness generation, Bell nonlocality, and entanglement distillation for quantum networks, with applications in quantum cryptography and secure communication.

His recent publications examine advanced topics like trapped-ion lattice surgery (2025), quantum correlation boundaries (2025), and quantum backflow phenomena (2023). Earlier work established foundational limits for real quantum theory (2021) and developed practical entanglement distillation protocols (2018).

Scientific awards include the Lise Meitner Postdoctoral Fellowship (2020-2023) and Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship (2019-2020). His funded research projects focus on quantum computing error correction and device-independent quantum tomography, aligning with his theoretical expertise guided by experimental applications.
