物理科学与技术学院高等研究院暑期学术讲堂量子理论学第十期： Summary and suggestions for future studies

报告人简介：Prof Oh joined the Department of Physics in 1983 and retired as Emeritus Professor on 30 June 2016.Professor Oh was presented the Emeritus Professorship award by Deputy President (Academic Affairs) and Provost Professor TAN Eng Chye at a ceremony organised by the Department of Physics on 21 June 2016.Prof Oh served as Head of the Department of Physics from 2000 to 2006. He is a founding member of CQT (Centre for Quantum Technologies).Prof Oh obtained his B.Sc. (First Class Hons) and Ph.D. in Physics in 1969 and 1972 respectively, from the University of Otago, the oldest university in New Zealand. For his Ph.D., he studied high energy physics, which relates to the study of the smallest constituents of matter, electrons, quarks etc.

Prof Oh has received various prestigious awards. These include the National Science and Technology Award (2006) administered by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) which recognised Prof Oh’s outstanding contribution to themultidisciplinary field of quantum information science which has helped to position Singapore as a leader in this field. Before working on quantum information, he started his career in particle physics, particularly the Yang-Mills gauge fields, particle phenomenology and integrable models.

Prof Oh was conferred the Institute of Physics (IPS) President’s Medal in 2014
