Dr. Daowen Qiu completed his postdoctoral research at the Department of Computer Science, Tsinghua University in 2002 and was recruited to the Department of Computer Science at Sun Yat-sen University under the "Hundred Talents Program". Since 2004, he has been a professor and Ph.D. supervisor at the Department of Computer Science at Sun Yat-sen University. For over twenty years, he has been engaged in research on quantum computing and quantum information, making contributions in areas such as quantum computing models, quantum query algorithms, distributed quantum algorithms, semi-quantum key distribution, incompleteness and limit issues in quantum information, (fuzzy, probabilistic, and quantum) automata and discrete event systems. His research integrates classical and quantum computing processes, aiming to achieve physical realizability and inherent superiority over classical computing. He has published over 200 academic papers in top-tier journals and conferences and authored an academic monograph on quantum automata. He currently serves as an editorial board member of the renowned international journal Theoretical Computer Science, an editorial board member of the international journal Quantum Reports, and an associate editor of the international journal Frontiers in Computer Science.
