From October 16 to 20, the Advanced Training Course on "Rare Earth Elements in Quantum Topological Materials and Quantum Computing" and the Academic Conference on "Transport Properties of Quantum Topological Materials" were held at the International Exchange Center of our university's Sanjiang campus. The conference was chaired by Xu Zhonghui.
Dean of the School of Science. Gong Yao-teng, member of the university's Party Committee Standing Committee and Vice President, attended the opening ceremony of the training course and delivered a speech. Gong Yao-teng pointed out that the purpose of this training course is to bring together industry experts and participants to jointly explore frontier issues in quantum and rare earth science. Through professional training and in-depth discussions, the event aims to promote theoretical development and experimental techniques, broaden the participants' professional capabilities, and contribute to the advancement of scientific research and industry progress. He encouraged the participants to seize this learning opportunity, use science as a medium, innovation as a guide, learning as the path, and industry as the goal. He urged them to maintain an open attitude, actively participate in discussions and collaborations, and jointly promote progress in quantum topological materials and the rare earth field.
Professor Xu Hongqi from Peking University and Professor Liu Jie from the China Academy of Engineering Physics reported on research progress and recent achievements in fields such as semiconductor spin and topological quantum computing, and "Solar in a Bottle—Laser Fusion". Professor Liu Wei-qing from our School of Science, Dr. Zhang Xing-zhong from the same school, and Professor Xiao Xing from Gannan Normal University respectively delivered oral reports on "Amplitude Envelope Synchronization Dynamics of Oscillator Systems under Phase-Amplitude Coupling", "Preparation of Bismuth Telluride-based Flexible Thermoelectric Devices and Their Application in Power Generation and Sensing", and "A Brief Discussion on the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics and Second-Generation Quantum Technology".
Professor Wu Biao from Peking University, Professor Xiong Rui from Wuhan University, and Professor Shi Xinrong from the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Metrology Science shared on topics such as "Introduction to Quantum Computers", "Thermal Transport Properties of X2Te3 (X=Sb, Bi)-based Thermoelectric Materials Based on Neural Network Potentials", and "What’s Up with Quantum Science and Technology (Innovation and Applications in Quantum Science and Technology)", respectively.
The research teams of Professor Yang Munan from the School of Rare Earth Materials, Dr. Zhong Shuwei from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, and Dr. Chang Xin from the School of Science introduced their studies on "Development of NdFeB Rare Earth Permanent Magnet Materials and Demonstration Applications in Magnetic Levitation", "New Materials and Techniques for Metal Surface Protective Coatings", and "The Impact of Diversity in Information Transmission Methods on Disease Dynamics".
Professor Liu Zhiming, Dean of the School of Science at East China Jiaotong University, and Professor Ren Wei from Shanghai University shared their research on "Metamaterials Plasmonics and Related Applications" and "First-principles Design of Ferroelectric and Multiferroic Materials". Dr. Luo Bing and Dr. Luo Wei from our School of Science shared their insights on "First-principles Study of Transport and Optoelectronic Properties of Two-dimensional Layered Ferroelectric Materials" and "Quantum Transport in Topological Materials".
During the conference, experts and participants visited companies such as Jiaten Electric (Ganzhou) Co., Ltd. in Zhanggong District, Ganzhou City, and Ganzhou Guangke Micro-nano Technology Co., Ltd. to learn about industry trends.
The conference successfully concluded on October 20. At the closing ceremony, Dean Xu Zhonghui emphasized that the training course had only provided a platform for learning and communication. He hoped that the participants would take this opportunity to move forward, actively engage in practical work, break through personal limitations, and pursue cutting-edge technological development.
It is reported that in response to the call of the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, and to implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discussions on developing new-quality productive forces and the strategy for a talent-driven nation, this training event on "Rare Earth Elements in Quantum Topology and Quantum Information" encourages lifelong learning, promotes interdisciplinary development, and aims to cultivate high-level, multi-disciplinary professionals who will serve national strategic needs and contribute to the high-quality development of education and technology in the country and the province.
