JK. Zeng, Ph.D.
My day job is doing theoretical research about quantum systems: how they evolve, how they react to noise, and the geometric properties of their dynamics. If you are interested, you can read about my research, my publications, what I use, my professional path, and what I’m up to now. I’m now based in Shenzhen, China. Feel free to email me if you’re nearby and want to grab coffee ☕
