Chao-Yang Lu
Lu Chaoyang (Chinese: 陆朝阳; born November 1982) is a Chinese quantum physicist known for his work in the field of quantum computing and quantum teleportation. In 2015, his work on quantum teleportation was selected as by Physics World as "Breakthrough of the Year"[1]. In 2016, he was named one of Nature's "Science Star in China"[2]. He was elected an Optical Society (OSA) Fellow [3], and was receipant of OSA Adolph Lomb Medal (2020) [4], and American Physical Society (APS) Rolf Landauer and Charles H. Bennett Award in Quantum Computing (2021) [5].
Early life and education[edit]
Lu was born in 1982 in Dongyang, Zhejiang, China. In 2000, he entered the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), from which he received his bachelor's degrees. He received his PhD in 2011 from the University of Cambridge in the UK, where he worked in the group of Mete Atature [6].
Contributions[edit]
As a graduate student, Lu was the leading author of the experiments including six-photon entanglement [7], Shor's algorithm with photons [8], photon-loss-tolerant quantum coding [9], and single-shot spin readout [10].
Lu was appointed as a Professor of Physics at his age of 28 [11]. His research group, in collaboration with Jian-Wei Pan, focused on high-performance quantum light sources, quantum teleportation, and optical quantum computing. In 2015, Lu and his group experimental demonstrated quantum teleportation of multiple degrees of freedom of a single photons [12]. In 2019, Lu and his group created near-optimal single-photon source from quantum dots [13], and used it to implement 20-photon boson sampling [14].
Lu is the general secretary of Micius Science and Technology Foundation, which gives Micius Quantum Prizes [15].
Lu is the Chair of Quantum 2020 [16] [17], a virtual conference organized by the Institute of Physics, Chinese Physical Society, and the Universit of Science and Technology of China.
Awards and recognition[edit]
His work on single-photon sources and optical quantum computing was selected by Optical Society of American (OSA) as one of "Optics in 2016"[18], "Optics in 2017"[19], and "Optics in 2019"[20].
Lu was elected a Fellow of Churchill College in Cambridge (2012)[21]. He has been awarded Hong Kong Qiu Shi Outstanding Young Scholars (2014)[22], Nature "Science Star of China" (2016)[23], OSA Fellow (2017)[24], Fresnel Prize from the European Physical Society (2017)[25], AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize (2018)[26], Nishina Asian Award (2019)[27], IUPAP-ICO Young Scientist Prize in Optics (2019)[28], OSA Adolph Lomb Medal (2020)[29], and Rolf Landauer and Charles H. Bennett Award in Quantum Computing (2021)[30].
