Welcome to Kihwan's group at Department of Physics, Tsinghua University.

Our researches mainly focus on developing quantum computation and quantum simulation with trapped ions. An ion-trap system is one of the leading platforms for a pratical large scale quantum device. It shows over 5000 second coherence time, over 99.9% logic gate fidelities and the largest quatnum volume among all physical platforms.

Currently, we focus on developing various trapped-ion systems with a linear ion chain, dual species of ions, and 2-dimensional ion crystal.
