Quantum computers require robust quantum states, but these states are extremely fragile and hard to find. Bo Peng’s research addresses this challenge by finding alternative quasiparticles with robust quantum states using computer simulations. He proposes that atomic vibrations (phonons) can perform quantum operations.

Quantum States in atomic Vibrations: Breaking the Wall of Quantum Computing
I am a Nevile Research Fellow at Magdalene College Cambridge, a position that allows me to start my independent academic career. I am also a fourth-year PhD student in the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge, working on the topological aspects of vibrational properties of solids, especially non-Abelian braiding of phonons, which has the potential to form the basis for quantum computation. I obtained my MSc and BSc in Fudan University (China), where I explored different research topics in computational condensed matter physics. I have received tremendous recognition including the Cavendish Prize in Computational Physics (awarded to one PhD student each year by the Head of Department), Cutting-edge Research in Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, 15th Daheng Wang Award in Optics (Highest honour for Chinese students in optics), and Committee of 100 (US) Leadership Scholarship. I played Werner Heisenberg in the Play Copenhagen at Cambridge.
