Summary
Peter Peng is an emerging physicist-computer scientist bridging AMO physics, quantum hardware, and quantum machine learning with 12 years of practical experience across research and outreach. As VP External at UBC Quantum Club and an Academic Affiliate at the Quantum Algorithms Institute, he advances collaborations and quantum education while contributing hands-on to neutral-atom quantum simulation and kernel optimization projects. His lab work ranges from SLM beam shaping and femtosecond pulse shaping to instrument driver development and optimal control, reflecting a rare blend of experimental optics and software engineering. Highly adaptable and communicative, he has scaled hardware control systems and improved SLM operating range fourfold—an indicator of both technical depth and attention to system robustness. Based in Greater Vancouver, he is finishing a dual BS in Physics and Computer Science and actively translating academic research into practical quantum tools and outreach.
