Introduction

Professor Hsi-Sheng Goan received his Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Maryland, College Park, USA, in 1999. He then worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, from 1999 to 2001. From 2002 to 2004, he was a Senior Research Fellow, awarded the Hewlett-Packard Fellowship, at the Center for Quantum Computer Technology at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, before taking up a faculty position in the Department of Physics at National Taiwan University (NTU) in 2005. He has been a Professor of Physics at NTU since 2011, working in the fields of Quantum Computing and Quantum Information, Quantum Control, Open Quantum Systems, Mesoscopic (Nano) Physics, Quantum Optics, and Quantum Optomechanical and Electromechanical Systems. He is currently the Director of the Center for Quantum Science and Engineering at NTU, and the Director of the IBM Quantum Hub at NTU. He has been an author and co-author of more than 100 research papers and 5 chapters in monographs or books. He has delivered more than 60 invited talks/lectures at international conferences, workshops, meetings, and schools.  He has served on the Editorial Boards of several international scientific journals, including EPJ: Quantum TechnologyInternational Journal of Quantum Information, and Chinese Journal of Physics.

Our research group at the Department of Physics and the Center for Quantum Science and Engineering in National Taiwan University, led by Prof. Hsi-Sheng Goan, explores various aspects of quantum information science. Our members possess a vast array of expertise, and everyone has the opportunity to be exposed to multiple facets of quantum information, and has access to numerous research resources. We also collaborate with many groups and organizations, both domestic and international.
