Overview of Academic Research
Prof. Jin Wang’s research interest is the cold atom physics, Precision Measurement with Atomic Interferometry.
His major achievements include:
*Proposed and realized the magneto-optical trap (MOT) for neutral rubidium atoms in 1998.
*Pioneered the rubidium-85 atomic interferometer gravity measurement technology in 2005. His group developed the rubidium-85 atomic gravimeter and participated in the international absolute gravimeter comparisons in 2017 and 2023.
*Developed the experimental method for testing the weak equivalence principle using atomic interferometers, and has conducted high-precision, multi-attribute tests of Einstein's equivalence principle using atom interferometers.
*Developed a space dual-component rubidium isotope cold atom interferometer, which has been applied to the Chinese Space Station.
Research Directions/Fields:
