Dr. Mei-Ling Zhang

Dr. Mei-Ling Zhang holds a doctorate in quantum information science from Peking University and spent four years researching quantum error correction before joining China's growing community of technology journalists. She is one of the few science writers in the world with both the technical credentials to understand quantum computing research and the communication skills to make it meaningful to a general audience. At Discovia, Mei-Ling covers advances in quantum hardware, quantum algorithms, quantum cryptography, and the geopolitical race to achieve quantum advantage. She writes with the patient clarity of a teacher, unravelling concepts that intimidate even seasoned engineers. She is based in Beijing and travels regularly to quantum research centres across Europe and North America.
