Biography

Taehyun Kim (김태현) is currently an Associate Professor of Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University (SNU)

He got his B.S. degree in Computer Engineering and his M.S. degree (MEMS) in Control and Instrument Engineering, both from SNU. He got his Ph.D. degree in Physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he developed  the first entangled photon pair source based on Sagnac interferometer which is adopted by the first quantum satellite in 2016, and also demonstrated several different quantum information protocols using photonic qubits (quantum bits).

He also developed the ion trap systems for quantum repeater and quantum computing at Duke University as a postdoctoral researcher, and joined SK telecom where he built the working ion trap system for the first time in South Korea and demonstrated the qubit operation with ion trap also for the first time in South Korea. Until he joined SNU in Sep. 2018, all the working ion trap systems at SK telecom were built only by himself and his co-supervised students.
