Research

We study quantum computing and its potential interdisciplinary applications. We constructing efficient quantum simulators for quantum computing simulations, and investigate the use of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms for noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. We explore the potential applications of quantum computing in the areas of quantum machine learning, quantum optimization, quantum finance, quantum computational chemistry, quantum biomedical sciences, etc.

We construct both quantum computer and quantum communication hardware. Specifically, we try to fabricate, control and measure the silicon-based semiconductor quantum-dot spin-qubit devices. We also try to design, fabricate and integrate the cryogenic control and measurement circuit chips for solid-state quantum computers, such as semiconductor quantum-dot qubits and superconducting qubits. We also construct the component devices and integrate the communication system for quantum key distribution by optical fibers. We also conduct theoretical studies on the high-fidelity control of solid-state qubit systems and the novel protocols for quantum communication.

We perform both theoretical and experimental studies to quantum materials and quantum chemistry systems. We apply mechanical mechanics, electromagnetic theory and computational methods to study the physical and chemical properties of novel materials, such as nano-structures, metamaterials, magnetic and spintronic materials, topological materials, 2D materials, heterostructures, optoelectronic materials, chemistry systems, etc. We also conduct experimental investigations on the physical and chemical properties of these novel materials.

We explore the complex interactions between photons and maters (including atomic, molecular and biological systems) from both sides of theory and experiments. We work on the quantum simulation/computation theory involving cold atoms/molecules/ions and other condensed matter and qubit systems. We also develop the nonlinear optical spectroscopy and ultrafast optical microscopy to experimentally observe and exploit the quantum physics and optical phenomena in the AMO systems and other quantum optical systems.

NTU-IBM Quantum Hub provides a service platform for quantum computing research and education training for the academic research community in Taiwan. In addition to research, we also focus on the quantum information science education and training of students, and the cultivation and nurture of experienced cross-disciplinary young talents in quantum computing and related fields. Promoting the popularization of quantum information science education and learning is the key to further upgrading the national quantum technology industry to a higher level.
