Prof. Gyu-boong JO

Biography

• Hari Harilela Associate Professor in Department of Physics at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
• Research focuses on the quantum simulation of intractable quantum problems using ultracold atoms, wherein a dilute gas of atoms is routinely cooled down to 100 billionth of 1 Kelvin
• RFS project —  to demonstrate how quantum-enabled devices can return short-term benefits using an atomic quantum simulator recently developed at HKUST, and to experimentally investigate fundamental Hamiltonians with nontrivial topology, atom-atom interactions, dissipations and large spins, all of which can be sophisticatedly controlled in an atomic quantum simulator
• Awards and Honours:
  • RGC Research Fellow (2021)
  • Croucher Innovation Award (2016)
  • RGC Early Career Award (2014)
