Professor Cai Jianming theoretically and experimentally investigates quantum information science and quantum technology with various applications, including quantum sensing, quantum simulation, and quantum computation. His research interest focuse on using quantum resource and quantum control to efficiently manipulate quantum systems and achieve quantum-enhanced sensing, as well as further develop applications in precision measurement, material science, engineering and biology. He has been working on quantum criticality-enhanced sensing, quantum sensing using NV center in diamond, room-temperature solid-state quantum simulator, one-way quantum computer, quantum effect and quantum control in biology.
Prof. Cai received his bachelar's degree and doctoral degree from USTC in 2002 and 2007 respectively. He then worked as a Lise Meitner Postdoctoral Fellow at Innsbruck, and as a Marie-Curie IEF Fellow at Ulm since 2011. In 2014, he joined Huazhong University of Science and Technology as a Full Professor of Physics. He is currently the co-director of HUST-UULM International Laboratory on Quantum Sensing and Quantum Metrology.
