Stanley Miao

I am a graduate student at the Institute for Quantum Computing and Perimeter Institute, supervised by Debbie Leung and Alex May. I am broadly interested in the possibilities and limits of distributing quantum information. Previously, I worked in the intersection of machine learning and quantum computing and on classical error-correcting codes.
