QUEST Lab @ NC State
Welcome to the Quantum Engineering and Simulation Theory (QUEST) Lab in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and the Department of Computer Science at NC State University in Raleigh, North Carolina!
Our research aims at developing quantum-information-science-inspired algorithms and framework to tackle long-lasting challenges in physical sciences and engineering, with a focus on quantum algorithms and simulation, hybrid continuous-discrete-variable quantum computing, and quantum engineering.
We are always looking for motivated students and scholars to join us to explore the exciting frontier of quantum information science and engineering!
