Nine chapters tied with one work of Wang Hui won the Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award of the Global Chinese Physics Society
The International Organization of Chinese Physicists and Astronomers (IOCPA) announces that Dr. Hui Wang of the University of Science and Technology of China has received the Outstanding Dissertation Award for 2021 for his outstanding contribution to quantum-dot single-photon sources and boson sampling research.
The GCPA is a non-political, professional, non-profit organization chartered in New York State in June 1990. The overall goal of the organization is to promote the study of physics and astronomy and, in particular, to promote recognition of the achievements of physicists and astronomers of Chinese descent.
Hui Wang (third from right)
Hui Wang entered the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) from Liangzhou, Gansu Province in 2011, received his B.S. degree in 2015, and then joined the group of Jianwei Pan and Chaoyang Lu for his Ph.D., where he worked on photonic quantum computing, particularly on quantum advantages of quantum light sources and bosonic sampling. During his PhD, he and his team developed Fourier transform-limited single-photon sources, demonstrated the first five-photon boson sampling exceeding all previous work by more than 5 orders of magnitude, the first quantum dot single-photon source with elliptical microcavities, the first single-photon source with intensity compression, and the first boson sampling with 20 input photons and 60-mode interferometer. Based on the accumulation of these key technologies, he and his colleagues successfully implemented the "Nine Chapters" prototype, which realized the superiority of quantum computing for the first time.
Up to now, Hui Wang has published Science (1 article), Nature Photonics (2 articles, one of which is the cover article), Nature Physics (1 article), Phys. Rev. Lett. (11 articles, 6 of which are editorial suggestions), Nano Lett. (1 article), and has been cited more than 3200 times. He has been cited more than 3200 times. The list of first-author and tied first-author papers during his PhD is as follows.
