Projects
(1) Quantum Machine Learning:
We explore the physical advantage and limitations of quantum machine learning. For example, we analyze the trainability of variational quantum algorithms and explore their physical insights. Recently, we proposed a novel metric to evaluate the quality of quantum generative models and studied the role of quantum resources, such as quantum entanglement and coherence, in quantum generative models from the perspectives of quantum communication and information thermodynamics.

(2) Quantum Thermodynamics:
We explore the quantum fluctuation theorems involving the roles of quantum resources to reformulate the laws of thermodynamics in the nanoscale. We also explore the applications of the quantum fluctuation theorems to characterize the physical limitations of the quantum information processings.

(3) Quantum Sensing:
We explore the near-term quantum algorithms for the state preparation of the optimal quantum states for the quantum metrology and sensing. We also explore the mathematical properties of the proposed quantities to evaluate the performance of the quantum systems as quantum sensors.
