Biography:Hanhee Paik
Hanhee Paik is a South Korean experimental quantum computing researcher[1] who works for IBM Research at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center, where she helps develop superconducting devices for storing and operating on qubits.[2]
Education and career
Paik has a master's degree from Yonsei University in South Korea,[1] and completed a doctorate at the University of Maryland, College Park.[1][2]
After postdoctoral research at the University of Maryland Laboratory for Physical Sciences,[1] she took on another postdoctoral position at Yale University[1][2] where she continued research in coherence and materials. In 2012, she left academia to become a researcher for BNN Technology PLC, specializing in quantum computing research.[3] In 2014, she began her current position at IBM research.[1] At IBM, her work has been included in the IBM Quantum Experience and IBM Q System One projects.[2] As a Senior Research Scientist in quantum computing and quantum ecosystem development, she is continually developing new qubit architectures whilst also leading technical projects. [4][5]
Paik's advancements pave a path forward within the industry of superconducting quantum computing for commercialization. Her invention proved that it is possible to commercialize superconducting quantum computing.[6] Ten years later, IBM is running on average, 2 billion servers per day as a result of Paik's discoveries.[7]
Recognition
In 2021, Paik was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), after a nomination from the APS Forum on Industrial & Applied Physics, "for pioneering a novel superconducting qubit architecture that catalyzed the commercialization of superconducting quantum computing, and for contributions to advance quantum computing research in the industry".[8]
