Prof. Isaac Chuang“A global leader in quantum computing and quantum information science”
Prof. Isaac Chuang is a leading scholar in the fields of quantum computing and quantum information science. He is a Professor of Electrical
Engineering and Physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has pioneered research in quantum information processing, quantum
algorithms, and quantum control, including early demonstrations of NMR-based quantum computing systems. He is also widely recognized as the
co-author of Quantum Computation and Quantum Information, one of the most influential textbooks in the field, and continues to contribute to the
advancement of global quantum technologies across academia and industry.Presentation Title- Quantum Engineering: A Systems Challenge
Abstract- Quantum computation has long been the realm of exotic physics experiments at the level of a few qubits executing a few gates.
However, quantum computation will likely need millions of qubits executing trillions or more gates for real-world utility.
This talk explores how the required transition from physics to fault-tolerant architectures brings serious systems engineering challenges,
so that quantum computers can be reliable, parallelizable, programmable, debuggable, and predictable.

Prof. Myungshik Kim“A world-renowned researcher leading advances in quantum optics and quantum information technologies”
Prof. Myungshik Kim is a globally recognized researcher in the fields of quantum optics and quantum information science. He is a Professor in the
Department of Physics at Imperial College London and has conducted extensive research in continuous-variable quantum information processing,
quantum communication, quantum sensing, and photonic quantum technologies. Through international collaborations and academic leadership,
he has contributed significantly to the advancement of global quantum technology research. In particular, his influential work on quantum
entanglement and photonic quantum technologies continues to expand the possibilities of next-generation quantum applications.Presentation Title- Quantum technology : the story so far
Abstract- The popularity of quantum technology has expanded from being isolated within physics to now dominating the engineering and business discourses.
There is a worldwide trend for public and private investors alike in investing on quantum computing and technology.
Why are we fascinated by the idea of quantum computing while we do not have the machine yet and it is not clear when it will be delivered?
In this talk, we summarise what we know so far in the development of quantum computing and what motivates us in working on quantum computing
(and quantum technology).
