Brief Biographical Sketch:
Ching-Yang (Leo) Yu became captivated by quantum computing immediately when he learned about it as an undergraduate in Taiwan. He then came to Stanford to pursue his Ph. D. and postdoc. His main research interest is to create, explore, and manipulate quantum materials for both classical and quantum information processing (IP). Such new IP units promise to perform energy-efficiently at a single quantum level, and to tackle outstanding quantum physics and chemistry problems via simulation.

Have you ever wondered why diamonds are the hardest material on Earth while pencil lead is so soft? It all comes down to Lattice Geometry. In this session, we’ll dive into the invisible, repeating patterns that atoms use to build the world around us. From the "Lego bricks" of salt crystals to the complex grids of advanced tech, we will explore their foundations in 14 fundamental templates. Discover how simple geometrical rules allow us to design the next generation of super-materials!
C6084: Quantum Key Distribution: How Can Quantum Mechanics Secure Your Communication? in Splash Fall 2017 (Nov. 11 - 12, 2017)
What is “quantum”? How does the weirdness of quantum mechanics promise another revolution in information technology?
In this class, you’ll learn the basic principles of quantum mechanics, and apply these principles to understand quantum key distribution, a perfectly secure way for communication. The class will foster physical understanding through demonstrations during lecture.
