Yiwen Chu appointed Assistant Professor
On application of ETH President Lino Guzzella, the ETH Board has appointed nine new professors at ETH Zurich, among them physicist Yiwen Chu, who will join ETH as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Hybrid Quantum Systems.
Dr. Yiwen Chu (*1986), currently a postdoctoral researcher at Yale University, New Haven, USA, was appointed Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Hybrid Quantum Systems. Yiwen Chu’s research focuses on exploring new materials, designs and geometries for developing superconducting qubits and cavities. Her experiments have demonstrated the entanglement of individual electron spins with photons in a solid state system based on nitrogen vacancy centres in diamond. She has also gained international recognition for developing a new system of coupling superconducting qubits to mechanical resonators. Yiwen Chu’s research is an excellent fit with the “Quantum Science and Technology” research group at ETH Zurich.
