| Siyuan Han is the lead investigator of Quantum Device Laboratory at KU's Physics and Astronomy Department. His current research interests include macroscopic quantum phenomena in Josephson devices, quantum computation using superconducting devices, and physics and application of micro- and nano-scale devices that exhibit quantum effects. Siyuan obtained his BS degree in physics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) 1982. He received his Ph.D. degree in experimental condensed matter physics in 1986 from Iowa State University, where he investigated Josephson effect in heavy fermion superconductors. From late 1986 to 1997 Siyuan was in SUNY at Stony Brook, where he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow, a Research Scientist, a Research Assistant Professor, and a Research Associate Professor. He left Stony Brook to join the KU's Physics and Astronomy Department as an Associate Professor in 1997. Siyuan has published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers. His works in macroscopic quantum phenomena, which set the foundation for quantum computation with magnetic flux based superconducting devices, are highly regarded. His recent work in coherent temporal oscillations in Josephson tunnel junctions, which is an important step toward the development of scalable quantum computation, has received many attentions. This work has been cited by Science, Physics Today, and Scientific American as one of the breakthroughs in realizing superconducting quantum computation. |
