    Introduction of Speakers：

    1. Alain Aspect
      Alain Aspect is a renowned France physicist known for his pioneering work in the field of quantum mechanics and quantum entanglement. He was born in 1947 and studied at the École Normale Supérieure Cachan in 1965. He passed the agrégation in physics in 1969 from the École supérieure d’optique of Université d’Orsay, and earned his doctoral degree (habilitation) from Institut d’Optique Graduate School. In the early 1980s, he conducted pioneering experiments that confirmed the phenomenon of quantum entanglement by determining the violation of Bell’s inequality. Aspect’s experiments provided crucial evidence for the non-local behavior of quantum particles, and his work has had a profound impact on our understanding of the fundamental nature of reality at the quantum level.
      He has received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to physics, including the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2022, the Balzan Prize in 2013, the Niels Bohr International Gold Medal in 2013, the UNESCO Niels · Bohr Medal in 2013, the Albert · Einstein Medal in 2012, the Wolf Prize in Physics in 2010 and the Max Born Award in 1999, etc.
      Alain Aspect is an influential figure in the field of quantum physics, and his research has opened new possibilities for techniques such as quantum computing and quantum cryptography.
    2. Yuan-Tseh Lee
      Professor Yuan-Tseh Lee, born in 1936 in Hsinchu, Taiwan, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1986 for his groundbreaking work in the field of chemical kinetics. He earned a B.S. from the National Taiwan University in 1959 and earned his M.S. from National Tsing Hua University in 1961. He then studied at the University of California, Berkeley, and received his Ph.D. in 1965. Professor Lee’s research has focused on the use of advanced spectroscopic techniques to study the dynamics of chemical reactions, leading to a better understanding of fundamental processes in chemistry.
      Professor Lee held various academic and research positions in the US at institutions such as the University of Chicago and the University of California, Berkeley, before returning to Taiwan in 1994 to serve as President of Academia Sinica.
      In addition to his scientific work, Professor Lee also advocated for science education and international scientific cooperation. He served as President of the International Science Council and was involved in several initiatives aimed at promoting global scientific research and education, as well as promoting environmental sustainability. Professor Lee continues to be an active voice in the scientific community, advocating for the importance of scientific research and collaboration in addressing global challenges.
