Bio

Hi! My name is Zhi-Ping Liu (刘志平). I’m a Ph.D. student at the Nanjing University (NJU), under the supervision of Prof. Zeng-Bing Chen and Prof. Hua-Lei Yin. My research background is in quantum machine learning, and my current interests have expanded toward efficient large language models.

I received the B.S. degree in Physics from NJU in July 2020, and my research journey spans both academia and industry at the intersection of quantum information and AI.

You can find my full CV here. (updated in April, 2026)

I am broadly interested in quantum information theory, quantum computation, and artificial intelligence. In particular, I’m fascinated by how various quantum resources make things different. Currently, I am exploring the intersection between quantum theory and language models.

I’m actively looking for potential research collaborators - please feel free to get in touch!
