Lu Chaoyang, a professor with the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), recently has won the Rolf Landauer and Charles H. Bennett Award in Quantum Computing of the Physical Society (APS) for his significant contributions to optical quantum information sciences, especially on solid-state quantum light sources, quantum teleportation and optical quantum computing.

Lu, born in Zhejiang Province, east China, in December 1982, was admitted to USTC in 2000 and earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Cambridge in 2011. He has made significant research with international influence on quantum light sources and quantum teleportation.

Founded in 1899, the APS is the world's largest not-for-profit membership organization on physics with more than 50,000 members from all around the world. It established the award in 2015 to recognize recent outstanding contributions performed by a scientist within 12 years post-PhD in quantum information science every year.
