Q-Ready Panel: Behind the Research with Xingyu Gao, PhD

Join us for an intimate Q&A session with Dr. Xingyu Gao, exploring his cutting-edge research in solid-state quantum devices and the topics discussed at the second Qready Book Club meeting.

Led by Dr. Xingyu Gao, Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, this session will give participants the opportunity to dive deeper into his research on quantum sensing, simulation, and communication — including a closer look at the recent work on MRI-inspired quantum advancements using 2D materials featured in the Book Club. Come with your questions and curiosity!

This session is open to all Q-Ready participants. Whether you're a seasoned researcher or just getting started in quantum, this is a great opportunity to engage directly with an expert in the field.
