Mahn-Soo Choi is a professor of physics at Korea University in South Korea, and the director of the School of Quantum. He studied at POSTECH and acquired his PhD in physics in 1998. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Basel in Switzerland and a research fellowship at Korea Institute for Advanced Study, he joined the Faculty of Physics at Korea University in 2002. He started his research career in condensed matter theory, and expanded his interest to quantum computing and quantum information. He has been working on spin qubits in quantum dots, superconducting qubits, superconducting circuit QED and related quantum hybrid systems, and mesoscopic transport.

In the early 2000s, he started to develop Mathematica packages for students on the subjects of quantum many-body systems and quantum spin systems. He wanted to help students focus on essential physics rather than technical calculations. These packages eventually evolved to Q3, a symbolic quantum simulation framework in Wolfram Language for quantum information systems, quantum many-body systems, and quantum spin systems. Q3 was released to the public in 2020 through a GitHub repository (https://github.com/quantum-mob/Q3), and was featured in his recent book published with Springer, "A Quantum Computation Workbook" (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-91214-7).
