Debbie Leung

Professor Debbie Leung is University Research Chair at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, where she is also affiliated with the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization. She works in theoretical quantum information processing.[1][2]

Leung's research areas include quantum cryptography, quantum communication, measurement-based quantum computation, fault-tolerant quantum computation and error correction.[3][4][5][6]

In 2005, Leung won a 10-year Tier II Canada Research Chair in Quantum Communications.[1][7] In 2002, she won the Tolman postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Quantum Information in Caltech and the Croucher Fellowship.[8]

Leung earned her BSc in mathematics and physics from Caltech, and her PhD from Stanford.[5] Her PhD thesis is entitled "Towards Robust Quantum Computation".[2]
