Nobel Laureate in Physics Cui Qi
Cui Qi Cui Qi is a Chinese-American born and raised in Henan, China, and is a professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering at Princeton University in the United States, engaged in electronic research and has achieved remarkable achievements. On 13 October 1998, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded him the Nobel Prize in Physics. He is the sixth Chinese to win the Nobel Prize after Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao, Ding Zhaozhong, Chu Steven and others. He is a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a founding member of the Hong Kong Academy of Sciences, and a Chinese-American scientist.
He graduated from Hong Kong Pui Cheng Secondary School in 1957. In 1958, he went to the United States for further study and studied at Augustana College in Illinois; In 1967, he received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Chicago. He has been a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University since 1982. In 1984, he was awarded the Barkley Prize for the Physics of Concentrated Matter. In 1998, he explained the special phenomenon of electronic quantum fluids and won the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 2000, he was elected as a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2004, he was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering. In 2005, he was appointed honorary professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Professor Cui Qi in The Physics of Low-Dimensional Electronic Systems, Integer, Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (IQHE; FQHE) has made a series of groundbreaking major achievements in the physical research of strongly correlated electronic systems and quantum devices.
【Scientific Achievements】On October 13, 1998, Chinese-American scientist Cui Qiyin discovered that sun electrons interact under strong magnetic fields and ultra-low temperature conditions to form a quantum fluid of some specific nature (many electrochemical processes occur at the solid-electrolyte interface, and corrosion often occurs at the solid-gas and solid-liquid interfaces, so interface physics and surface physics have great practical significance).
The discovery of the phenomenon of electron quantum fluids is a major breakthrough in the field of quantum physics, which has made important contributions to new theoretical developments in many branches of modern physics. Cui Qi was also awarded the famous Franklin Award in the United States. Cui Qi said on the Internet's own website that his main academic interest is to study the nature of electrons in metals and semiconductors. His research will be applied to the development of more powerful computers and more advanced communication equipment.
Professor Cui Qi is very concerned about the development of science and technology in China. At the beginning of reform and opening up, he visited China to give lectures, introduced the latest research hotspots in science and technology in the world, suggested that China carry out research on the physics of two-dimensional electronic systems and the physics of low-dimensional quantum systems, and actively promoted the implementation of the Sino-US Memorandum of Cooperation plan on atomic, molecular and condensed matter physics.
