Yeong-Cherng Liang is the Director of Quantum Frontiers of Research and Technology (QFort) and a Professor at the Department of Physics at the National Cheng Kung University.
His primary research lies in exploring features offered by quantum theory to perform difficult or near impossible tasks. Primary example of this is exploiting the phenomenon of quantum nonlocality to perform device-independent quantum information processing. He is also interested in topics in the foundations of quantum theory and topics in quantum information theory. He also has an interest in quantum cryptography, quantum communication, and more recently, in quantum computation.
Liang is a recipient of several awards, including the Most Valued Reviewer of 2014 Award by the Annals of Physics, and most recently, the Academia Sinica Research Award for Junior Research Investigators (2020).
