Liu Yu-Xi Professor

Liu Yu-Xi received a Ph. D in theoretical physics from Peking University in 1998. From 1998 to 2000, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Institute of Theoretical Physics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. From 2000 to 2002, he was a JSPS Postdoctoral fellow in the Graduate University for Advanced Studies, Japan. From 2002 to 2009, he was a research scientist in the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN), Japan. In 2009, he joined Tsinghua University as a full professor. He mainly researches in properties of solid-state quantum coherence devices and quantum information processing, and interests in superconducting quantum devices, hybridization of superconducting and various solid-state devices, solid-state quantum computing. He did several contributions in his research field. For example, he found microwave selection rules in superconducting quantum circuits, proposed methods to engineer microwave quantum states, to realize electromagnetic induced transparency via circuit QED systems, developed coherent control theories of couplings between superconducting qubits. A total of 157 SCI papers were published with a total 8500 SCI citations (excluding self-citations). He was a winner of National Natural Science Foundation of China for Distinguished Young Scholars.
