My name is Dawei Zhong and I am currently a Physics Ph.D. candidate advised by Prof. Todd A. Brun and Prof. Rosa Di Felice at the University of Southern California. I am working on error correction, error mitigation and their application on early fault-tolerant quantum devices. I am also interested in solving classically hard problems with quantum algorithms.
