Summary
Yupan Liu is a postdoctoral researcher with 11 years of experience at the intersection of theoretical computer science and quantum computing, currently based in the Lausanne area and affiliated with EPFL. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from Nagoya University and an MS in Computer Science from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, blending rigorous theory with practical algorithmic insight. His work spans tensor-network methods, convex optimization, and complexity questions for 2D quantum systems, including efforts to place Local Hamiltonian problems in NP for gapped systems. Yupan has collaborated internationally, including a focused summer research internship at NUS with Prof. Itai Arad, producing novel approaches to expectation-value and ground-state computation under area-law constraints. Known for bridging deep mathematical foundations with computational techniques, he brings a rare combination of theoretical depth and hands-on algorithm development to quantum many-body problems.
