Physicist You Chenglong has left the United States to take up a full-time position in China after working for more than a decade in the strategically important fields of quantum sensing and precision measurement.<\/p>\n
Previously based at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, You is regarded as a fast-rising researcher in his field.<\/p>\n
According to Chinese media reports, he joined the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in Chengdu as a professor this month.<\/p>\n
UESTC has been on the US government\u2019s export-control Entity List since 2012 due to its cutting-edge research into defence-related technology such as radars and electronic warfare.<\/p>\n
While his name has not yet appeared on UESTC\u2019s publicly available faculty listings, You\u2019s Google Scholar profile lists the Chinese university as his current affiliation.<\/p>\n
You has been asked for comment.<\/p>\n
He earned his PhD in physics from LSU in 2019, studying how light can be used to push measurements to their absolute limits, work that underpins technology ranging from ultra-precise navigation sensors to gravitational-wave detection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Physicist You Chenglong has left the United States to take up a full-time position in China after working…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":424416,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[64,63,200272,3293,512,111698,223044,223043,13342,223045,292,223046,128,223047,2489,223048],"class_list":{"0":"post-424415","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-physics","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-baton-rouge","11":"tag-chengdu","12":"tag-china","13":"tag-cleo","14":"tag-emil-wolf-outstanding-student-paper-competition","15":"tag-google-scholar","16":"tag-louisiana-state-university","17":"tag-optica","18":"tag-physics","19":"tag-quantum-physics-and-engineering-laboratory","20":"tag-science","21":"tag-uestc","22":"tag-us","23":"tag-you-chenglong"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=424415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424415\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/424416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=424415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=424415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=424415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
