Quantum Computing Looking Forward [Highlights

Abstract

Prof. Ching-Ray Chang received his B.S. degree in physics from National Taiwan University (NTU), Taipei, Taiwan, in 1979, and his Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of California, San Diego, in 1988. Since 1989, he has been with NTU and has had the chance to serve as the executive vice president and interim president of the university. Prof. Chang has worked in micromagnetic numerical modeling since 1980. He not only carried out pioneering studies of micromagnetic structures but also applied the Landau-Lifschitz equation to subnanosecond analysis. Prof. Chang has made significant scientific contributions and has had a great impact on the understanding of nucleation, spin dynamics, and thermal activation of magnetic materials as well as spin transport in low-dimensional materials. He served as the president of both the Taiwanese Physical Society and the Taiwan Associations of Magnetic Technologies. He is a Fellow of IEEE and of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. He was a committee member of the IEEE Magnetic Society and chair of the Taipei Chapter. He served as the general chair of IEEE InterMag 2011 in Taipei. He has authored more than 280 papers and has held more than 28 magnetic-related patents. He was awarded the IEEE Nanotechnology Best Paper Award in 2019. Currently, he serves as the director of the NTU-IBM Quantum Computer Hub and as the chair of the Quantum Computer Promotion Office, Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan. Prof. Chang was the founder and served as the president of the Taiwan Association of Quantum Computer and Information Technologies.
