Hengyun (Harry) Zhou
Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, MIT
Member, Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE)

Harry received his BS from MIT and his PhD from Harvard University, and previously served as Quantum Error Correction Architecture Lead at QuEra Computing.

His research focuses on accelerating the development of large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers through full-stack architectural innovation. He works across quantum error correction, algorithms and compilation, and hardware architecture, developing hardware-efficient fault-tolerant schemes that significantly reduce the space-time overhead required for scalable quantum systems. During his PhD, he also made key contributions to quantum sensing and many-body physics, and was named a finalist for the American Physical Society's Deborah Jin Thesis Prize.

Kaavya Sahay 

Kaavya Sahay
Incoming Postdoctoral Associate

Kaavya grew up in Ahmedabad, India. She obtained a B.Tech in Engineering Physics with a minor in computer science from IIT Delhi, and she is currently a final-year PhD student in Applied Physics at Yale, where she works with Shruti Puri.

Her graduate research focuses on quantum error correction, including unconventional methods of logical computation with surface codes that account for hardware-aware noise models, measurement-based computation strategies, and nonlocality as a resource. She has also developed tailored decoders for LDPC code families.
