Quantum + AI

Tak Hur

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Waterloo. I explore how quantum technologies and AI can come together to make real impact.

I completed my PhD in Statistics and Data Science at Yonsei University in 2026. My work spans quantum machine learning, quantum error correction, and neural quantum states, with an interest in both theory and practical algorithms.
