Ludwig Boltzman, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics. Perhaps it will be wise to approach the subject cautiously.

Biography

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology), where I am supervised by Prof. Konstantinos Slavakis and advised by Prof. Jun Sakuma. My research focuses on the intersection of quantum computing, machine learning, and AI security.

I obtained my B.S. in Physics from the University of California, San Diego and M.S. in Experimental Particle Physics from KEK

Quantum Software Development

LogosQ is a quantum computing library written in Rust. The library focuses on efficient quantum circuit simulation and optimization. For more information, tutorials, and documentation, please visit https://logosqbook.vercel.app/. If you are interested in optimization and computation in Rust, feel free to check it out!

Quantum Machine Learning

I have recently published research on novel feature extraction algorithms for graphs that can be effectively applied with Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) in resource-limited settings. This work bridges classical graph theory with quantum machine learning techniques.

AI Security

My ongoing work includes security analysis and attacks on various fine-tuned and pretrained AI models, including Llama2-7B, Llama3.1-8B-Instruct, Qwen, DeepSeek, and GPT family models. This research aims to understand and improve the robustness of large language models against adversarial attacks.

news

Jan 01, 2026 I will be exchanged at HKUST guangzhou campus from Jan.-Mar. 2026. Please check the work at Prof. Jinguo Liu’s group for Tensor Network related topics and research.
Dec 29, 2025 The official paper on the LogosQ is published on Arxiv
Apr 01, 2025 The paper on graph encoding with variational quantum circuit is accepted by IEEE QCNC 2025 in Nara, Japan.
