Welcome to Choi Group at KIAS 

We are interested in emerging phenomena in quantum materials and their applications for quantum information science. To this end, we develop and apply classical and quantum algorithms for quantum many-body problems.


Positions Opening

Postdoctoral research fellow positions as well as graduate student fellow positions are available. Those interested should get in touch at sangkookchoi (at) kias (dot) re (dot) kr.
