Yiyang Zhi is a graduate student in the EECS department advised by Professor Ming C. Wu. His research focuses on integrated optics co-fabricated with control electronics for trapped ions systems. Individual ionic species confined and addressed by electromagnetic fields are a promising platform for quantum information, sensing, and computation due to high operation fidelity and long coherence time. He is developing an architecture that embodies a pathway towards scaling up while preserving key performance metrics. Outside of the lab, Yiyang enjoys playing basketball and hosting events for Photobears, a professional joint student chapter of SPIE, Optica, and IEEE Photonics Society.
