About Yang Wang

I’m a software developer at Amazon Ads, where I build large-scale, high-throughput infrastructure for LLM-based services. My path here began in quantum physics — with over 15 years at the frontier of quantum technology, leading teams, developing cutting-edge hardware, and publishing foundational research.At the intersection of science and engineering, I thrived in transforming abstract ideas into real-world impact — from pioneering quantum memories to delivering commercial systems. Today, I bring that same rigor, curiosity, and product-focus to machine learning infrastructure.I love building systems that scale, solving hard problems with great people, and learning fast. Whether it’s quantum optics or generative AI, I’m drawn to areas where the rules are still being written.Publications & hl=en
