艾萨克·庄

艾萨克·L·庄（英语：Isaac L. Chuang）是一名美国电机工程师和物理学家。他在麻省理工学院超冷原子中心领导量子研究小组。他分别于1990年和1991年在麻省理工学院获得物理系和电机工程学士学位，并于1991年获得电机工程硕士学位。1997年，他在斯坦福大学获得电机工程博士学位。

庄是核磁共振量子计算的先驱者之一。自2003年以来，由于噪声对其可扩展性的限制，超过几十个量子位元的液态核磁共振量子计算领域不再受到青睐，庄将注意力集中于困住离子的量子计算方法上。

庄还因与迈克尔·尼尔森合作撰写《量子计算暨量子信息》而广为人知，该书是此领域的主要参考书之一，被引用超过40,000次。

在1999年受雇于IBM时，庄原预计出现在埃洛·莫里斯的一部电影中，这部电影是IBM为2000年之际的内部会议而委托拍摄。最后该会议被取消，电影也没有完成，但在莫里斯的个人网站上可以看到包括庄在内的一些节选。

2015年，他领导的一项研究表明，EdX平台上的一些学生通过创建多个账户与“收获”正确答案来作弊。

荣誉

1999年，被选入为《麻省理工科技评论》TR100，成为世上35岁以下的100名创新者之一

2010年，获选为美国物理学会会士

部分书籍

Nielsen, Michael A.; Chuang, Isaac L. 《量子计算暨量子信息》 10th Anniversary. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press. 2000. ISBN 978-0-521-63235-5. OCLC 43641333.

Isaac L. Chuang is an American electrical engineer and physicist. He is a professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He received his undergraduate degrees in physics (1990) and electrical engineering (1991) and master's in electrical engineering (1991) at MIT. In 1997 he received his PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford University.

Chuang is one of the pioneers of NMR quantum computing. He later began working on trapped ion quantum computing, after liquid state NMR quantum computing fell out of favor because of excessive noise limiting its scalability to only tens of qubits.

In 2008, Chuang was the principal investigator of a doctoral-study program in quantum information science. As part of it, MIT was awarded a $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation for a new graduate training program.

Chuang is known, along with Michael Nielsen, for having authored Quantum Computation and Quantum Information, one of the primary reference books in quantum computing.

While employed at IBM in 1999, Chuang was to be featured in a film by Errol Morris, commissioned by IBM for an internal conference on the occasion of the year 2000. The conference was cancelled and the film was never completed, but Morris's personal website contains excerpts including Chuang.

In 2015, he led a study showing that some students on the edX platform cheat by creating multiple accounts and "harvesting" correct answers.

Honors

2010 Fellow of the American Physical Society

In 1999, he was named to the MIT Technology Review TR100 as one of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35.
