Overview of Academic Research

My research focuses on quantum precision measurement and sensing, with an emphasis on ultra-sensitive atomic spin-based magnetometry and inertial measurement technologies. A key area of my work is the development of high-performance atomic vapor cells—the core sensing element in atomic spin sensors. I have conducted systematic investigations into fine modeling and error analysis of atomic ensemble measurement systems, as well as high-precision laser spectroscopic detection of solid-gas phase components. I have led multiple research projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Beijing Natural Science Foundation, and the Zhejiang Natural Science Foundation. Research outcomes have been published in leading journals such as Measurement, IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, and Physical Review A, and so on.

1. Precision measurement theories, methods, and technologies for spin quantum states

2. Physical mechanisms and fabrication methods for novel quantum devices

3. Hardware and software design for atomic spin-based quantum states
