معرفی
Prof. Qingyou Lu is a Professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, leading the High Magnetic Field Scanning Probe Microscopy Lab since its establishment in 2005. The lab maintains dual affiliations with the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale (USTC) and the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Hefei, China. His research bridges advanced instrumentation development and fundamental physics exploration.
Research interests span two distinct yet complementary domains: (1) High-field scanning probe microscopy including novel piezoelectric motor design (GeckoDrive, Tuna Drive) and magnetic force microscopy for condensed matter studies, and (2) Ultracold quantum gases and molecules for quantum simulation/computing applications. The group pioneered atomic-resolution STM in 27T magnetic fields and recently transitioned to microwave-shielded molecule research.
Publication trends reveal a strategic evolution from instrumentation-focused work (2002-2016) to quantum information science (2018-2024). Key contributions include visualization of magnetic domains in manganites, development of ultra-rigid piezo motors for harsh conditions, and breakthroughs in evaporative cooling of dipolar quantum gases to quantum degeneracy.
Prof. Lu has mentored 15+ graduate students and postdocs, including Ze Wang, Jihao Wang, and Yin Guo. The laboratory maintains state-of-the-art facilities comprising a 20T superconducting magnet, low-temperature STM systems, high-field magnetic force microscopes, and custom RHK R9 controllers for precision measurements under extreme conditions.
