"People's Daily" [Look at changes along the footprint] China University of Science and Technology: Toward the "sea of stars" of scientific and technological innovation

Overlooking the University of Science and Technology of China. China University of Science and Technology

The world's first quantum science experiment satellite "Micius" was successfully launched, the quantum secure communication "Beijing-Shanghai Trunk Line" was officially opened, and the "Zu Chongzhi" superconducting quantum computer prototype was successfully developed...

In recent years, the University of Science and Technology of China has witnessed a continuous emergence of original scientific and technological achievements, which is attributed to the hard work and perseverance of one innovative talent after another 踔厉.

He Yu, who has just turned 30 this year, does not look young, but at the age of 24, he co-founded Guoyi Quantum (Hefei) Technology Co., LTD., which is mainly committed to the research and development and industrialization of quantum precision measurement, quantum computing and other technologies.

For Heyu, revitalizing the national scientific instrument industry is both a national need and a personal pursuit.

Entrepreneurship for so many years, let He Yu feel the most, nothing is more and more intense innovation atmosphere. "I am a quantum precision measurement instrument, and now more and more small partners around me are engaged in the quantum field, including quantum communication and quantum computing, and the entire quantum industry chain is gradually improved." He said.

In the entrepreneurial stage, He Yu studied while practicing, under his leadership, the company has developed and launched "pulsed electronic paramagnetic resonance spectrometer", "quantum diamond atomic force microscope", "diamond quantum computing teaching machine" and other products.

What makes him proud is that the application of quantum precision measurement technology has also come out of the laboratory and is widely used. In the medical field, high-resolution medical imaging can detect single cancerous cells, which can be used for early diagnosis of diseases; In terms of scientific research, the structure of a single molecule can be analyzed to provide a better basis for the research and development of new drugs; It can also play a great role in the discovery of new materials, superconductivity research and other fields.

In detail, the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements have been dubbed "science and technology men" He Yu.

"In the past, it took at least 10 years for an instrument to go from the laboratory to the experimental field to the big market, but now, from technology research and development to the customer terminal, it only takes 2 years, and the speed of the transformation of results is far beyond our imagination." He Yu image analogy, this is like the past is a country road, now began to take the highway, and the road is getting wider and wider.

Like He Yu, Rong Xing, who also graduated from the China University of Science and Technology, came into contact with quantum mechanics as early as his junior year. This was an unknown territory for Rongxing at that time.

"When doing experiments in graduate school, it was to have no instruments, to sample no samples, scientific instruments are abroad, money may not be able to buy, scientific research conditions is a difficult word." Rongxing sighed, the core technology can not buy.

It is in order to compete for that relief, in recent years, Rongxing focused on independent research and development of magnetic resonance core technologies and devices, completed the development of different band pulse paramagnetic resonance spectrometer, users include the Chemical Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital and other research institutes.

Rong Xing, who studied at HKUST and also works at HKUST, is now a professor at the School of Physics.

In recent years, the University of Science and Technology attaches equal importance to education, and has deeply implemented support programs such as the "Academic Leading Talent Training Program", "Youth Innovation Promotion Association" and "Zhongying Young Scholars" to support young talents to take the lead and become the protagonist. Since 2016, the school has added 307 high-level talents of all kinds and 569 high-level talents.

It can be predicted that with the unremitting efforts of a group of researchers and the landing and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, HKUST is accelerating towards the "sea of stars" of scientific and technological innovation.
