Professor Ching-Ray Chang has contributed to quantum science for several decades, playing a central role in building Taiwan’s quantum research and education infrastructure. With over 280 publications and more than 28 patents, his scientific work is matched by a series of popular science books that make quantum concepts accessible to the public.

As former Executive Vice President of National Taiwan University, Chang founded the NTU–IBM Quantum Hub, now one of Asia’s most active academic quantum centers, and introduced quantum computing into NTU’s curriculum. He also Found another quantum information center in CYCU and led national training programs and pioneered high school–level quantum education to cultivate Taiwan’s next-generation quantum workforce.

As the Founding President of the Taiwan Association of Quantum Computing and Information Technology (TAQCIT), he helped shape Taiwan’s national quantum roadmap and strengthened coordination across academia, industry, and government. He also established the Quantum Taiwan Forum—launched at SEMICON Taiwan five years ago—which has since become a major bridge linking Taiwan’s semiconductor strengths with the global quantum technology ecosystem.

Together, his research, policy engagement, educational initiatives, and institutional leadership define a comprehensive approach to advancing quantum science and building the broader infrastructure needed for its long-term development.
