Sen YANG

Research interest

Prof. Sen Yang's team focuses on the quantum applications based on solid state qubits, especially the nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond. The team is one of the leading teams of using NV center as a quantum sensor for studying quantum materials under extreme conditions. The team is also working on quantum control and quantum communication technologies based on NV centers. They also developed new methods for fabrication quantum chips and quantum devices with high performance.

Biography

Prof. Sen Yang joined HKUST in 2021 as an Associate Professor. He received his Bachelor of Science from Tsinghua University and PhD in University of California at San Diego. His research focuses on quantum optics and quantum information science in solid state systems. His group has achieved several breakthrough works, including the first direct proof of Bose Einstein condensation in 2D semiconductor; the quantum storage of single photon states into single nuclear spin which demonstrates the longest storage time optical quantum memory for quantum communications; versatile quantum sensors for quantum material research; novel direct laser writing material deposition method for chip fabrication.
