2026量子電腦暨資訊科技研討會暨 TAQCIT 年會

Biographical Sketch

Professor Vladan Vuletić was born in Pec, Serbia, Yugoslavia, and educated in Germany. In 1992, he earned the Physics Diploma with highest honors from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, and in 1997, a PhD in Physics (summa cum laude) from the same institution. He then went on to work with Professor Steven Chu at Stanford University as a Lynen Fellow of the Humboldt Foundation. In 2000, he was appointed an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Stanford and in June 2003 accepted an Assistant Professorship in Physics at MIT. He was promoted to Associate Professor in July 2004, and to Full Professor in July 2011. He currently serves as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at QuEra Computing Inc. 

Vuletić has published over 150 refereed articles in the fields of atomic physics, laser cooling and trapping, precision measurements and quantum physics. Awards include a Sloan Research Fellowship, a Fellowship of the APS, and the Marko Jarić Prize of Serbia. Research interests include ultracold atoms, laser cooling, many-body entanglement, quantum metrology, precision tests of physics beyond the Standard Model, and quantum simulation and quantum computing.

Cheng Chin earned his B.S. degree in Physics from National Taiwan University in 1993 and his Ph.D. degree in Physics from Stanford University in 2001 under the advisory of Dr. Steven Chu. He conducted postdoctoral research at Stanford (2001~2003) and at Innsbruck University (2003~2005). He joined the University of Chicago in 2005 and has been a full professor in the Department of Physics, the Enrico Fermi institute, and the James Franck institute since 2012. He has also been a visiting professor at Innsbruck University (Austria), ETH (Switzerland), Rice University, MIT, Academic Sinica (Taiwan), Univ. of Ulm(Germany), Univ. of Munich(Germany), Max Planck institute (Germany), JILA, Tsinghua University (China) and National Sun Yat-Sen University (Taiwan).

Short Abstract: 

Entanglement is one of the most remarkable features of quantum mechanics. Particles can become so connected that their properties remain linked even across large distances. In our laboratory, we observe how entanglement naturally emerges through scatterings and reactions of atoms and molecules, which allow us to simulate complex phenomnea in condensed matter, nuclear physics and even cosmology. By viewing these interactions as forms of wave mixing, we gain a unified understanding of how quantum entanglement is created and shared. This insight not only helps us explore fundamental physics, but also enables us to engineer robust entangled photon pairs that can connect distant quantum bits, laying the groundwork for future quantum networks and technologies.

Distinguished Research Fellow, Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica; Executive Director, Center for Quantum Computing

Dr. Chen received his Ph.D. from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and conducted postdoctoral research at NEC Fundamental Research Laboratories, Japan. In 2024 and 2026, he and his team successfully demonstrated five-qubit and twenty-qubit superconducting quantum computers, respectively, marking major breakthroughs in Taiwan’s quantum technology development.

The team has also established national quantum chip fabrication (QC-Fab) and testing (QC-Test) platforms to serve as foundational infrastructure for Taiwan’s indigenous quantum research and industry–academia collaboration.

Abstract: 

Superconducting qubits are among the most promising routes to practical quantum computing, yet scaling them to large-scale systems remains an open engineering challenge. In this talk, I will survey the key hardware challenges, spanning multiple layers of the technology stack: QPU architecture and design, qubit fabrication, advanced packaging, gate optimization, and machine-learning-assisted automated calibration, and describe our progress in addressing them.

I will also introduce two platforms we have built to support this mission: QC-Fab, a quantum chip fabrication facility, and QC-Test, an integrated testing environment. These platforms can serve as a foundation for broader collaboration and a stronger domestic quantum hardware ecosystem.
