世界量子日系列访谈|QST期刊编委Kihwan Kim教授
在今年世界量子日来临之际，IOP出版社邀请了多位量子科学领域的编委进行一系列访谈。本次，我们采访了Quantum Science and Technology(QST)期刊的编委、清华大学的Kihwan Kim教授，让我们一起看看他对量子研究领域发展的见解吧。
访谈详情
1. 您目前的研究重点是什么？
My researches mainly focus on developing trapped-ion system for quantum information science such as quantum computation and quantum simulation. In particular, we are considering to reach the level of quantum advantage with trapped ions by demonstrating the algorithms of quantum boson sampling or similar to random gate sampling.
2. 您认为到目前为止，量子科学领域最大的进步是什么？
To my opinion, the biggest advancement in quantum science to date is related to the demonstration of quantum advantages. For the moment, only superconducting system and photonic systems were able to claim the quantum advantages.
3. 在您看来，量子科学与技术领域的下一个重大突破可能是什么？
Until now, quantum advantage has only been implemented in algorithms that have shown no utility, such as random gate sampling or conservation sampling. Even that is still controversial. While it is necessary to reach quantum advantage without any doubts or loopholes, the next big breakthrough would be using quantum computers to outperform classical methods on practically useful problems.
4. 您认为QST期刊在支持该领域研究方面起到了什么作用？
I believe that the best way to support research is to provide a good review good quality papers and select the best ones so that they can be published.
5.您对量子研究领域还有什么其他见解或者建议？
I think there are breakthroughs at many different levels, not just the biggest ones. Recently there have been many attempts to study non-Hermitian physics or quantum thermodynamics. It would be good if the journal could also be interested in various these kinds of breakthroughs. And when it comes to major breakthroughs, I think one way could be to compile papers or articles on the direction pursued by funding agencies or companies.
