姚期智(Andrew Chi-Chih Yao,1946年12月24日生於上海),計算機科學家,2000年圖靈獎得主,亦是中國科學院院士、美國國家科學院及美國藝術與科學院外籍院士、國際密碼學研究會會士。他1949年隨家人由上海遷居台灣,1967年畢業於台灣大學物理學系,1972年獲哈佛大學物理學博士,1975年再取得伊利諾伊大學計算機科學博士。畢業後,他先後任教於麻省理工學院數學系、史丹福大學及加州大學柏克萊分校,1986年起任普林斯頓大學計算機系William and Edna Macaleer講座教授,至2004年。他的研究涵蓋計算理論、密碼學、量子計算與通訊複雜度;他於1970年代末提出「姚氏原理」(極小極大原理),用以分析隨機演算法的下界,又以「百萬富翁問題」奠定安全多方計算的理論基礎,其在偽隨機數生成、密碼學與通訊複雜度的工作尤為關鍵,並最先提出量子通訊複雜度理論;他曾獲波利亞獎(1987)及古根漢獎助(1991)。2004年,他離開普林斯頓,出任清華大學教授;翌年創辦清華學堂計算機科學實驗班(通稱「姚班」),親自設計以英語授課的課程,並先後創辦理論計算機科學研究中心、交叉信息研究院與量子信息中心。自2005年起,他出任香港中文大學博文講座教授,2011年起任清華大學交叉信息研究院院長。2017年,他放棄美國國籍、轉為中國公民,並由中國科學院外籍院士正式轉為院士,他亦是香港科學院創院院士。2021年,他獲頒京都獎(先進技術);2024年4月起出任清華大學人工智能學院院長。

Andrew Chi-Chih Yao (born 24 December 1946 in Shanghai) is a computer scientist and the winner of the 2000 A.M. Turing Award. He is a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a foreign associate of the US National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a fellow of the International Association for Cryptologic Research. He graduated in physics from National Taiwan University in 1967, earned a doctorate in physics from Harvard in 1972 and a second doctorate in computer science from the University of Illinois in 1975. He taught at MIT and Stanford, and from 1986 held the William and Edna Macaleer chair in computer science at Princeton. His research spans the theory of computation, cryptography, quantum computing and communication complexity, and he pioneered the theory of quantum communication complexity; his work on pseudorandom number generation, cryptography and communication complexity was the basis of his Turing Award. He received the George Polya Prize in 1987 and a Guggenheim fellowship in 1991. In 2004 he left Princeton for Tsinghua University, where he founded the Tsinghua pilot class in computer science, widely known as the Yao Class, personally designing an English-taught curriculum, along with the Institute for Theoretical Computer Science, the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences and a quantum information centre. Since 2005 he has been the Bo Wen Distinguished Professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and from 2011 dean of Tsinghua's Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences. He renounced his US citizenship in 2017 to become a Chinese citizen, and in 2021 was awarded the Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology. From April 2024 he has been dean of Tsinghua's School of Artificial Intelligence.
