Developed a 256-qubit, publicly-accessible neutral-atoms quantum computer at QuEra Computing Inc.
Minho Jang
KAIST Physics
Minho studied Physics for his undergraduate degree with interest in quantum optics and quantum information. Before joining KAIST OQT, he worked on engineering photonic crystal cavities for versatile polarization control. His current focus is on developing the control interface for neutral atom-quantum computing and non-destructive state detection. Minho enjoys listening to music and playing guitar and drums.
Suwan Kang
KAIST Physics
Suwan studied Physics and Computer science with interest in both quantum computing and classical computer. Suwan enjoyed studying interactions between the atom and the light during undergraduate course. At KAIST OQT, his research is on single neutral-atom control and quantum ensemble sensing. Suwan enjoys playing the violin, listening to music and sports.
Sangjin Jeon
KAIST Physics & Electrical Engineering
Sangjin is studying Physics and Electrical Engineering at KAIST. He participated in educational activities at KAIST where he designed a smart-phone experiment to demo the conservation of angular momenta to middle school students. He was also involved in research to quantitatively analyze music from its statistical perspectives. Sangjin's current research interest is in quantum computing technologies: at the KAIST OQT, his research focus is on the single-atom feedback control. Outside the lab, Sangjin enjoys street dancing - especially Poppin - and playing the piano.
