Summary
Renmin University has recruited 33-year-old physicist Guo Yanliang as an associate professor, and he has returned to Beijing to set up his own ultracold-atom research group.
The new platform will use lasers to create an ultracold atomic sandbox for probing complex quantum matter, marking a shift from his work at one of Europe’s top quantum laboratories.
Guo said China offered stronger support for his long-term research goals and a research environment more compatible with his approach, which he likened to a debate between competing ideas.
Science and Nature publications and a place on MIT Technology Review’s Innovators Under 35 China list have already made Guo a prominent young researcher as China pushes to attract top scientific talent home.
