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.
